Running new ground

[GRANDFURY]

How would I run another ground from my battery. What gauge wire should I use and where should I hook it up to the battery. Car is a '89 GP 2.8. Thanx

You may as well use 0 gauge if you're going to bother at all. It's not that hard to find...local hardware store should have it. That said, all you need to do is run it from your negative battery terminal to an unpainted part of your frame. You may have to scrape paint off and add a layer of silicone to get the desired effect without getting rust too.

Cool thanx man.

I have 1 gauge left over from my stereo so I might just use that.

I don't know that the battery is even capable of using more than 1 gauge so that should work fine. BTW, I ran one because my old ground was all cruddy, and I just crimped one of the round-hole-end-thingies (someone tell me what it's called) and then unscrewed a bolt off a fender and screwed it back on with the ground in it.

Thanx for the help

Well I did it I just ran some 1 gauge from the battery to the existing ground and it seems to have stoped some of my radio interfearence. Thanx again.
