can anyone tell me where the alternator ground is? ive been scouring the FSM for the past 5 minutes but cant find a diagram of the location. i am making a grounding kit and trying to finish before 645

 

The alternator grounds through the casing. Ground to one of the mounting bolts.

 

Isn't it right on top of the alternator like on a bracket?

 

There is a little bracket right in front of the radiator with a 1/2 inch or 9/16 nut on the stud. Can't miss it.

 

yea I looked in front of the bracket and I missed it...

i did however complete the daisy chain series configuration of the grounds, from the battery side post to intake manifold to block to passenger side factory ground, to firewall back to battery, along with a single ground to the chassis. rpms are lower so i guess that means a small (probably negligible) improvement in fuel economy, and my windows roll down much faster. the car does run smoother i dont think its a placebo because when i used to idle and turn on a/c the rpms would go up to 1100 but now it just sits at 900. i would recommend this to anyone who wants an easy mod to do that u can actually see something improved, if only by a little. it does bring color to the engine for those people who only like aesthetic mods

 

 

lol i took em last night just gotta put them on my computer then ill make a new thread/write up about it if people want...i did it from scratch

 

Good, please do that . Oh yeah, I would of ground the fuel injectors/Knock sensor too.

 

to my knowledge this is the ground for the alt its appears to be a 10 gauge wire from the factory...

 

Baxtel, did you ground the alternator to the positive or negative terminal?

 

thanks i found it im uploading pics now and doing the write up

 

i'm interested in this! i was planning on just upgrading the "big 3" grounds but I wanna see what route you took... get that write up on here!

 

write up is up
