    Engine ground cable from negative battery post

    Hey Guys,

    Question; in my overly enthusiastic ripping out my battery originated cables about 1.5 yrs ago, when my supercharger-engine and tranny rebuild project started, I didn't get a good photo of where the negative cable from the battery attaches to the block (stock config). Would anyone happen to know? I've added a supercharger, so some of the front passenger side of the block is now unavailable.

    FYI - the little strap from the negative cable that connects to the fender wall right near the battery I got handled.

    Many thanks!

    Good thing i wasn't so excited as much as you two years ago when i ripped the engine and tranny out lol
    One to the frame, you got it covered
    And one should be bolted to one of the valve cover bolts, you will find it joining the positive wiring loom from the battery and going to the starter the ground wire will stick out of the loom near the passenger side valve cover, but you can bolt it any where you like as long its bolted to the engine.

    This is correct
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard
