I've been told that I should add some extra ground wires, besides the main ground cable from the battery to the engine block. I found a 9' or so ground wire with little "c" ends, and plan to run one end from the same bolt on the engine block that the main ground cable runs to, and then run the other end of the ground wire to the chassis area supporting the engine (not on engine mounts)...there are already several ready-made bolt holes there. I know that I need to sand down the painted area immediately around the chassis bolt hole, and I'll use the electrical "grease", but my question is what kind of washers should I use, and in what "order". I think on the engine block bolt, I'll just add a regular washer and electrical grease when I attach one "c" end there....on the other I'm thinking that right under the hexbolt head on top, will go a regular washer, then the other end of ground wire "c", then another regular washer, then a star lock washer (external star)directly on the chassis, with electrical grease. On the underside of the chassis, I'll have another star lock washer, and a hex nut. I may repeat this arrangement in another area for extra grounds.
I'm sure others have done this kind of thing. Any advice? Also, should I use a zinc-coated hex bolt, or stainless, or does it matter?
Thanks,
Hank
