Default grounding kit install...tried searching

anyone have pics or instructions to install a grounding kit for a DC chassis?
i tried searching ( ex. ground kit, earth kit, install ground kit, etc) nothing pops up that could help me. if anyone knows of a site, that would really help me out. thanks

Also replace your stock wires, and be sure to hook up the ground points in series.

Actually, I provide install instructions with the kits that I sell.
Use these points:
Alternator housing
Valve cover
Tranny
Throttle body
Thermostat housing <-this is the main ground for the ECU.
Tie everything back to a common point as opposed to the end-to-end method. My tests have shown that this will remove fluctuations at the sensor...
Let me know if you would still like some instructions, I'll get them over to you in a pdf

OK, now I'm gonna sound like an ***, but since I posted this I've had a metric tonne of people asking for the instructions, but not the kit that I developed them for.
So...I've decided not to send out the instructions separately.
However, if there are any other questions I'm more than happy to help out...

just get some 4 gauge wire from lowes/home depot, some good connectors. then find you old grounds, and replace them. you dont need a "kit". i didnt. my lowes wires have been fine for 2 months....

and make sure the wire is flexible. stiff wire is very hard to use.

spent like $10 for wire and connectors. get like 4 ft and youll still have extra. in case you mess up on the lengths
