grounding the starter???? Help!
Hey all, I'm still having some troubles with my starter overheating, we're thinking now that the starter might have to have its own ground wire to the chassis...I thought that just simply being bolted to the bell housing would be enough of a ground but maybe not?...So if anyone can clarify as to whether or not i indeed need a seperate ground going from the chassis to the starter?...and if so, where is the best place on the starter to run that cable...???
Thanks in advance!

Run a ground cable from one of the bellhousing-to-block bolts to the chassis.

Engine needs to be grounded (ground strap) to the frame via a cable like the battery.
Battery to frame to engine to battery, that is how it would be schematically to complete the circuit (except the relay). Don't assume your engine is grounded when it sits on rubber mounts,

Not sure what else we can tell you. Did you see my reply to your other thread? Make the cables I refer to and you can pretty much eliminate the batt cables / engine ground as an issue.

Ok a final update for everyone!...I added a 1ga. wire from the block to the chassis and that's stopped the grounding problems, my distributor was indexed wrong so thats fixed, and my fuel line was kinked, so that's fixed as well and i fired it up for the first time tonight!
thanks everyone for all of your excellent help it's very much appreciated!
