ground wires connections

Post by Smokin' Rubber »

alright I know where they connect (sort of) but why the heck do they give you a copper disk with a mounting bracket if you don't do anything with them!? So what are you supposed to do then? Connect all the wires to their proper ground but them have all of them attach back to the disk thing?

Ok the wires are installed but I didn't quite do it like everyone else did with the daisy chain, I actually did a central discharge with 2 runners to the metal of the body/chassis. The mount with the disk sat on top of the negative contact on the battery and all of the wires ran from the disk to somewhere else.For the actual mechanical contacts it ended up being:-left side of manifold-right side of manifold-header (somewhere around there)-transmission (I ended up leaving the stock one on the nearby bolt going to the strut tower as well)-engine blockthen the 2 discharge point were:-below the battery-left side of radiator hanger (the black bracket that holds the radiator)I'll try to post some picture tomorrow My first observations was better low end torque as well as high end punch with smoother revving. The second thing (not sure if this was happening before I put in the wires) was that the idle RPM's went up as stayed around 1400. Bass on the stereo also seems crisper but that could be my imagination.
