Grounds

How many total grounds are there on a mustang and is the back of the head the best place to ground them? My car was a hack job when I got it thats why I ask so many questions.

Thanks

Jon

Not entirely sure of how many grounds there are but you want to at least have the block grounded to the battery and the battery to the frame. Or the block grounded to the frame at the same point the battery is just to ensure good conection. 8ga works but I always upgrade to 4ga. Never hurts having too big of a cable. As far as smaller grounds go for electronics and such, I couldn't tell you how many there are.

Thats a good question....maybe. Here is a link to wiring diagrams. The battery gets grounded to the block, and there is a bonding strap that goes from the block to the firewall.
