Where To Attach Ground On SA 200 Shorthood?

admin

I'm putting the starter back on the shorthood that I'm working on and was wondering where to attach the battery ground to.  I have installed a single wire alternator and it appears that the ground used to be attached at the point where the top alternator bracket is attached to the engine block now.  Does it need to be attached to the engine block or can it be attached to the frame somewhere?  (It has a F162 engine in it).StephenMillermatic 251Miller Syncrowave 200Miller 30A SpoolgunHypertherm Powermax 30Etc., etc., etc.............Cancer Sucks!
