What would be the purpose of this?
Notice the wires coming off all four corners of the valve cover and one off of the dist. 3 going to the battery.
Any idea?

It's stupid. They are just extra ground cables for the engine. Not necessary. You will create ground loops with this which could induce unwanted ground currents.....

If you guys think grounding the engine is not needed then cut the ground wire on your R and see what happens.........

You need 1 thick ground cable for the engine and 1 thick ground cable for the transmission. No more no less....

Who said ground isnt needed?? That's just overkill to put that many ground straps.

Translation from that website:
Recently you tried grounding the fashion. As for use wiring the 8sq for audio, when 3 are connected directly to the battery from the engine head, the power * torque impression improved clearly just this. When you connect near the light/write to in addition to, the light/write becomes bright, when you connect to such as engine compartment and the partition of the interior, it seems that is the various effects volume of audio becomes large and/or with depending upon the pot. Don't you think? in brief electric resistance becoming small, because it reaches the point where electric current flows efficiently it probably is what.
