Posted December 21, 200915 yr i decided that i might as well do the big three in my town car, but i have a few questions about it.first, from the batt pos to the alt, im not sure how to connect the 1/0 to the alt. heres a pic of my althow should i connect it to ther? should i just try and remove that red thing?also, i dont know were the engine block to chassis connection is. could someone please tell me how to find it?heres what the bay looks likeanother thing... can i just run the pos batt. to alt just straight across to the right and zip tie it to like the radiator hose? thanks for the help!
December 22, 200915 yr Author ok i did some more searching and found out everything except how i should connect the pos to the alt with that red plastic thing there. Anyone know what i should do?

December 22, 200915 yr Author i know that, but do i remove the red plastic? it looks like its in the way.

The case should be grounded. Grounds and power are seperate.
December 22, 200915 yr Author I see what your saying. ill take a closer look tomorrow and see if i can remove the red piece without the 1/0 touching the case.

It looks like the safety barrier for just that reason. Allthough you can always modify it yourself with something. Go easy.
