Ground wire question for the guys with S/C.

I just recently bought a set of ground wires,and had a question about where to run the wire for the alternator.Since a new pulley is added, there isn't very much room to safely bolt it on the alternator bracket,as I'm afraid of the clearances being so close to the belt.I don't have any pics,but some suggestions would be great.

I'll look the next few days and see where the best placement would be. I would think that you'd run it underneath the supercharger, or above it with the wiring harness and then run it through that cut-out channel below the SC cone.

Took mine off a LONG time ago, so I have no clue, but didn't want you to think I didn't see the thread or care to respond!

Do you suppose that the alternator mounting bracket, being solid steel and bolted directly to the engine block, would be an adequate ground already?

because those grounds not at the - battery are less than the battery for ground. from noise and things...also you cant really have true ground, but the best ground is at the - battery...so if you ran a cable from the - battery to the alt. it would be a very good ground.

That's why I'm asking where to put it,because there isn't any room,in my opinion,to attach it safely without hitting the belt.
