I realize copper is better, but three of these:

&N=0&part=TAY%2D148014&autoview=sku&Ntk=KeywordSearch>
attached at these locations
- starter to chassis
- engine block to chassis
- alternator to chassis
plus the battery ground cable to chassis should do the trick, correct?

Subject: RE: Ground straps
I usually go from battery to block and from the same bolt on the block to
the frame with large cable. I use marine battery cable and solder and crimp
my own ends, it is super fine strand tinned copper and is very flexible with
a thick jacket. Add heat shrink where the cable meets the terminal and it
will last forever. Costs a bit more, but well worth it. A tinned copper
strap or two from frame to body and body to engine will cover most everyones
needs. I use 4 gauge minimum for 4 cylinders and 1 or 2 gauge for anything
larger.
