My cables are red. Most of the cables are too long.
Well, I went from passanger wheelwell(top of) to UIM. From UIM to front/top of engine(water/smog pump). Went from there to new drivers side chassis(a different location than stock). From chassis to neg bat terminal. Also from chassis to block right between spark plugs. I left all original grounds alone. The cables being too long made me twist the cable around here and there to take up slack. Oh well, streaks of red thru my engine bay.
Will see tomorrow how she feels. I am grounded big time now.

Wow, good idea. Just need to get two more ends. I have about 9" of extra on one cable. How long is the muffler ground? I guess I could jack up the car and look, but if someone knows off the top of their head.

I used this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33574
and did the exact same thing Damian did with his kit.

Coaxial is way too thin to be much good. The more copper you have the less resistance the wire will have. 4 guage is good. Anything thicker like 2 guage is a lil over kill.
