[QUOTE="sonicmach1, post: 15621876, member: 74931"] For a change of pace, I have just finished upgrading my electrical wiring for the battery, alternator and grounds. I had high RPM voltage drop with a couple alternators, different pulleys, and with 2 AWG positive wiring to the alternator. Coupled with that is my big stereo and sub upgrade project drawing more power. So the battery terminals were messy. My Build Level [INDENT]Two crimpers - one hydraulic press tool and one mechanical Used tinned copper heavy duty marine lugs Used marine grade adhesive shrink wrap 1/0 AWG wiring for alternator positive and ground 1/0 AWG from battery to distribution box 2 AWG ground wires MAXI fuses with 6 AWG terminals 200 Amp circuit breaker for alternator positive line 100 Amp MEGA fuse for sub amp in a marine rated fuse holder[/INDENT] Hydraulic Crimper [ATTACH]92036[/ATTACH] I found several issues with the wiring: [B]1. Importance of good grounds. [/B]For a car never driven in the rain, no salt, etc., with 22,000 miles, the grounds were in poor shape. [B]Stock engine block to frame[/B] Completely rusted underside of engine block nut. Self tapping screw (!) used on other end to attach to frame [ATTACH]92032[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]92034[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]92037[/ATTACH] NEW [ATTACH]92031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]92033[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
