Grounds getting hot!!!!!!!??????????
I just got down wiring and installing my 383 into my 96 trans am. I rerouted the battery to the hatch also. I ran a ground strap to the rear subframe from the battery and i ran the positive to the starter. Then from the starter i ran a cable to the altenator. Then i ran a cable from the starter to the distribution block on the passenger fender well. When i hook the battery up everything is fine. When i turn the key on everything is still fine. Everything comes on ok. Then when i try to crank it over the ground strap going fron the driver's side of the block to the frame rail get so hot you cant even touch it. So then i ran another ground strap from the ground post on the passenger fenderwell to the passenger motor mount and now they both get hot when i crank the motor over. Do i not have enough ground or am i not getting proper ground at the back of the car. This is the only thing keeping me from starting the car. I have hit a brick wall it seems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
