Slick 60's

My battery ground wire attaches to a GIANT bolt on the block just under the exhaust manfold.

Is that correct?

I cant find a ground wire with a terminal large enough to fit the bolt and I dont want to drill any extra holes.

I was planning on grounding the alt there as well.

If an FE yes. You can see the bolt in this pic.

right side of the block as your looking at the pic about half way down the block.

So where do you find ground wires with giant terminal ends?

Well I put the terminal on the anvil and beat it like Ike beat Tina.

It flattened out enough to drill a hole big enough for the bolt.

It seems to me that the engine should be grounded to the frame if the battery and alt ground to the engine.

True! I always add a ground 2ga from that big bolt over to the vehicle frame. I buy cable and ends that fit the bolt and soldier them onto the cable. Stick the cable end in a vice heat some soldier with a little butane torch and stick the cable end in there. When it cools you will have a solid long lasting connection. Add some heat shrink and the cable you just made will look factory.

I Make my OWN terminals!!!! I have a load of Diff size Copper pipe! Just cut how long ya want the terminal put the Cable in one end of it and take a chisle and hammer to crimp it! Heat shrink! Then flaten out the other end drill a hole and round off the end.

Try Tractor supply , or a heavy equipment (cat/ringpower) for heavy duty or larger ga. cable and conn.

Or if you wish to make your our these guys have every thing you need.
