What block did you use for the 408 build??

the one from the positive goes to the block and the one from the negative needs to be in the frame. I had to use a self tapping screw for the negative ground since I had it relocated. hope that helps u out.

lol.... hell, i dont know. its the tsp 408 iron block, it has 6.0l engraved on the side from gm.

so the negative should just bolt up to the frame somewhere. and i need to find a place on the block for the positive. this is why you should not let other people work on your car if you are planning to do the install yourself. i still cant see where it needs to go. remeber this is a corvette. battery is at the rear( where the computer is in an f-body) and these wires are real short, barely gets to the motor.

could the positive wire be hooked up to the heads? I know I just bolted it to the block near the oil pan were there was an unused hole. for the negative groud I just drilled a hole near where the wire was able to reach and hidden. just figure it out and you will get her running.
