[QUOTE="03' White Snake, post: 16939554, member: 51916"] Definitely need to look at the battery relocation wiring. I wired mine a little different because I was having slow crank when it’s hot. When it’s cold she would crank right over. I have since fixed the slow crank by running the battery wire straight to the starter. I run 1/0 wires, battery ground to trunk stud (part of my IRS stiffener plates) then another ground from that stud to engine mount. Then I have a ground from the backside of the alternator to the frame rail and the engine mount to frame rail. My brackets are powder coated so I wanted good ground for the alternator. Stock it is using the mounts to the engine. My positive wire goes from battery to disconnect switch, switch to starter and starter to alternator power. I then run a 2 GA wire from the disconnect switch to the fuse box on the battery side of the switch. This passes NHRA rules. [/QUOTE]
