Here's a fairly recent pic of my engine bay that I found - see the wire that I put a square around? Yesterday I found this wire disconnected on the other end and tucked away to be out of the way of whatever the hell we were doing. I think this is left over from the clutch job a little while back. Can someone with an ST find this wire and tell me where the other end of it connects to?

Edit: PS, also I have a battery bracket now, not that tacky bungee. But I never did figure out how the bracket goes on correctly. A pic or description of this would sure be fabulous too! Thanks guys

OK, in addition to your stock grounds ADD:
1 Battery to chassis (4 ga atleast)
1 chassis to block
1 battery to tranny (4 GA too, so you don't starve your starter)
1 chassis to head(alt bracket you're already adding lol)

I KNOW this is overkill, but since we can't figure out your problem, just make sure these are present, and that will take care of your grounding issues

You may also want to add alt+ to battery + just in case

4-6 dollar Walmart battery cables are cool tongue.gif and any kind of generic ring terminals. Sand the areas under where you plan to ground, to make sure you have great connection
