[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 6031034, member: 20202"] Jimmy The factory ground wire is pretty small. As you probably know the longer the run the heavier guage wire you will need to minimize voltage drop. I'm running 2 AWG to the started. I'm not sure how many amps the starter will pull. Once it's installed. Just turn the engine over for 5 seconds and feel if the wire starts to get warm. If it gets hot, bump up to the next wire size. I get my wire from Aircraft Spruce. Even though it's 2 guage it will carry more current then commercial grade wire because the strands are finer and more closly woven together (stay away from bare copper wire, it will corrode inside the insulator) . The jacket on this stuff is super tough and melts like teflon and doesn't "coldflow' like teflon. The high current fuse block is from a Marine supply store (West). Acid mat is from Spruce also.
