Thanks for the help 76LS1BIRD but I need my battery tray spot to be clear (Forced induction setup)
Also what is the purpose of the added 200A fuse on - cable. (what does that do exactly?)

Well after doing some thinking I think my Ground that I have up front is not right (picture is above). The reason I say this is I pulled my Front Sway bar and I am using the metal support the sway bar brackets where on. That metal up there is a little thicker than Paper do you guys think thats my Ground Problem.

Where does everyone have their Front ground connecting to the frame?


I don't really fill that its neccessary to run a 0 guage from the battery to the block so I really think its my ground on the front, works sometimes but not everytime.

The fuse is incase something shorts out, it will blow and can save your car from catching on fire.

I put the factory Positive wires back on the car (go to the Junction box, alternator, and the starter)

Car seems to start Fine each time (tryed twice) but each time it starts I hear a Lound Screetch from the starter????? kind of like when your car is startered and you try to start it again.

Any Ideas???

Typically a screech on start up will indicate that there is an issue with the teeth on the flywheel, or that there isn't sufficient ground to the starter itself. I'd look at both and see what you find.
