In these pics, it shows the old ground wire and the new one.. I just went outside and I don't that that "old" ground wire..

The previous owner must have taken it off?

Nope. Previous owner was my sister and I know she has never messed with anything under the hood.

I do however seem to have this set up.. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2320886

3. the front cylinder head below the PCV pipe to...
4. the transmission to...
5. the negative battery terminal to...
6. the stock grounding point behind the driver's side headlight.

how are these pics?
make sure you sand down any paint for solid grounds. i roughed/sanded the ring terminals too, they come with a glossy coat.

i bought 4 feet of red(alternator to batt [+]) and 6 feet of black(batt [-] to chassis, engine block to chassis). i had about 6 inches or so of black left over.
$38.50 shipped to my house. all you need to is cut to size and solder the ring terminals on. i used a rope and measured out the lengths before i bought/cut the wire.

No sir.

 

[001Stunna]

No sir.

You should have.
Its actually funny that you decided to fuse your sub power wire but not the wire from alt to battery.

 

[gt58]

You should have.

please go into detail why? this method is widely accepted as safe. i've had no troubles with it. and so what if the one in 1 million chances something messes up, it ****s up my alternator? time for a new HO alt that is long overdue
