Default Share your images of a supplemental ground from the chassis to the engine

Hello All,

After reading about supplemental grounds for a week was hoping some good members wouldn't mind sharing a few images of this.

not sure its necessary if the factory ground is making good contact. Try cleaning up the ground on the back of the block-top- and at the battery where it grounds to the body. I have run extra grounds before that came w/ the old ice shark kits. I believe i ran one from the alternator area to the frame on that side.

The IceShark supplemental ground is about 20" long if i remember right. The intended installation point was the left front frame rail to one of bolts for the front cover on the upper balance shaft. I used to run it on the alternator / compressor bracket though moved it to the balance shaft when i the a/c compressor was deleted.

I ran an independent ground from the head to the frame, as well as keeping the factory ground from the frame to the block. Hoping to reduce corrosion around the headgasket.
