Works perfectly and I believe it is where the factory ran it. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I ran mine from the battery to the starter bellhousing bolt. Works perfectly and I believe it is where the factory ran it. The factory didn't install 350s in AD trucks. A strap on an AD six starter is fine. But as Bobb pointed out, it is not fine on a 350 starter. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 | Busted on that one. But the fact is, I grounded my 55.2 350 at the starter bolt, the firewall, and frame and all is fine.
