Good morning Rowin4

When you say that adding a #2 copper wire GROUND to the engine definitely helped, where did you attach the other end of the copper ground wire? Also what condition did it help ? Were you experiencing starter heat soak or some other starting issue ?

Thanks...





I have two batteries mounted in the trunk, both grounds are bolted to 1 stud welded to the back half frame next to the batteries. The cable going to the front is also fastened to that stud. The starter was dragging probably because of the grounding condition that I was not aware of. no other noticeable electronic/ electrical problems. The ground wire now bolts to rear intake bolt, I had it on the starter bolt but that was a pain to work with. Electrical ground for the rest of the car comes off the intake valley pan bolt to inside of the car to a terminal bar for each accessary , lights , pumps, gauges etc. And a big THANKS to Chris for the article, I'm sure it will help out many racers
