No show, all go!
Bored at work. Thinking I should add some more grounds. How many and where do you have them.
Ditto. I had the dash cluster pulled forward once in my 1985 M-B when I cranked the starter. The speedometer cable started smoking. WTF? It had the thick ground strap from transmission-block bolt to frame. I removed it, sanded both sides and coated w/ silicone grease and no more smoking speedo cable. Another time, a new alternator didn't fix the "no charge current" in my 69 Dart. I clipped a jumper cable from alternator frame to BATT- and "viola" got charge current. I sanded the bolt-up points on the original alternator and the bracket and it then worked too. Later Mopar alternators added a stud for a case ground. Aluminum oxide (white powder) is a great electrical insulator. Many 1960's houses w/ the new aluminum wiring burned down.... I had a mechanical tach cable go up in smoke on a Honda as it was the only ground from the motor to the chassis! ...
Actually any dissimilar metals do cause a problem for the most partall good advice but do not ground battery to an aluminum rad or or heads or you can create electrolisis
Dissimilar metals plus the coolant which acts as the electrolite..creates the electrical circuit which can erode aluminumActually any dissimilar metals do cause a problem for the most part
Engine to chassis. Battery to chassis. I also like to ground all other circuits to chassis. You can't have too many that's for sure
Just attatch it using the threads in the aluminum heads, my negative cables have been on mine for about 6 years and havent had any issues
