decided to finially dig in and clean up some ground connections last night. Started with the stud that connects to the (-) from the battery. There seems to be a "plastic" washer behind the nut/washer/wire. It also seems to be fixed. Is this original?
I would have figured the wire would have grounded directly to the body not just to the stud connected to the body. any thoughts...pictures...etc.... I'll take a pic of mine tonight |

I added two grounds- battery stud to starter bolt (AWG 2, first pic), and alternator mount bolt to the ground stud that is under the relay board (AWG 8, second pic).
Whatever you do, I recommend sandwiching each lug between two internal tooth star washers on the stud or bolt. They cut through corrosion, bite into the steel, and form a realtively gas-tight seal. And they're very very cheap!   |
