Thread: 350 sbc wont start

Tweet

heres the ground situation, guy has ground coming from battery to alternator bolt, the from battery to strut mount, (was thinking of moving this to the fender). Then he doesn't have one from the block to the firewall, that i can see and i looked pretty hard. Or from the intake to the firewall i should say. should i move the one from the strut mount to the fender? and then add one from the intake to the firewall?

Welcome to CHR!

The main ground from the battery needs to be to a clean bolt on the block, not on the alternator and close to the starter is best. One of the starter bolts is an ideal place for it. The ground to the strut mount is to give things in the cabin a good ground, as would a strap from the firewall to the block.
