you're joking, right? the terminal lug on the back of the alt is insulated from the whole casing, otherwise it would short as soon as you connected the battery. besides, you should have the shield on the wire running to the alt to prevent accidental grounding of your system.

I was going to place it on the alternator bolt but if i could put it directly on the block, where exactly can I place it. And for my other ground the cross member would be a good spot as they mention above, correct I just wanna make sure that I am doing this the correct way (: Thanks
