So i am looking to try and make sure my electrical system is in top shape as i have had some voltage issues and current draws (hopefully all in the past)
i just swapped my alternator with the one that was in my parts car.
now when it was in my parts car the guage was showing close to 15v,
now it is in my car it is 13.5 to 13.9v
so not bad, but definately lower than it was in the other car.

so i am looking at 2 things.

firstly swapping the alternator noise suppressor.
where exactly is this located?

and secondly looking at the big 3 wiring upgrade.

now number 1 is easy upgrade. extra short wire in the boot.

number 2. where is the engine ground strap located?
is there even one? or is the engine grounded via the the engine mounts?
also when swapping the alternator it does not seem that there is a ground wire that matches that of the big b+ cable.
no big ground cable i assume it is grounded by the alternator housing and the mounting bracket.


number 3. PITA to try and run an extra cable the entire way.....
