the big 3 question
hey i need to do the big 3 for my 92 civic
i have a few questions on locations
1 battery ground to chassis ground
is the oem location the best ground for this one?
2 tranny ground and chasis ground
are the oem grounds the best locations as well?
3 alternator power
this one is a little confusing
do i remove the oem wires and wire a new power to the oem fuse box and then from the fuse box to the battery?
or do i not use the oem fuse box and make my own fuse?
is there a ground for the alternator?

2. Clean existing grounding points, add 1-3 more grounding points from the engine to the chassis
3. Keep existing wires, run a new one from the alternator to the battery, fuse 12-14" from the battery

Re: the big 3 question
2. Correct. Most cars have enough room on the alternator + post to add another terminal.

Re: the big 3 question
yea i did it everything worked great had to trim a little plastic piece on top of the alternator to fit the terminal
man what a difference that makes
also so the only ground i have on the battery terminal is to the chasis
i saw some people putting another one on to the tranny as well
might do it if i can find more wire
