This might belong in the electrical forum...if so, my apologies and a moderator can move it, I guess.
Basically, looks like 3 options for the combination of battery/grounding strap/wire to ground block on the firewal:
1) Battery negative to ground block on the firewall and thence to engine via grounding strap
2) Battery to engine via grounding strap thence to firewall via something
3) Battery to engine via grounding strap, and Battery to ground block on firewell via big honkin' wire
I just installed option #3 (temporarily while I am doing electrical layouts, ordering wires, etc.). Is there any disadvantage to this? Is one option or another preferred, and if so, why?
TIA!
