Engine ground

[Booky]

How big of a wire do I want to use to ground engine to frame horn or body?

[KTPhil]

At least as thick as the positive battery cable, since that is the limiting factor for current in or out of the battery. I think those are something like 4 or 6 ga. Or use a webbed ground strap like VW used... that will carry the load.

You can get those at almost any parts store...Just a braided ground strap....I get mine at Carquest...
