Re: My new project truck!

QUOTE=Andy4639;8376884]In your picture you have the battery ground cable attached to the exhaust manifold. I would add another cable to the frame also and make sure the cab is grounded to the frame and the block. You can't have to many grounds!

Glad to see you got it running.

OK, I will try that. Thanks!

If you look on the top of the alternator bracket, you will see two threaded holes, bolt the ground lead to one of those bolt holes...make sure the ground area is cleaned of all old paint and rust.

Andy4639 is totally correct...you can never have too many ground straps...

Stay safe young man...

OK, I will move it to the alt bracket. That manifold bolt is where the old one was when I bought this. Thanks!
