starter woes....



Ok, so now I'm wondering about my grounding cable from the battery......

This is what I did when I reconnected the ground wire to the - terminal on
the batt....

connected ground cable directly from the battery to the chassis on the
driver's side using the old 1" long 10mm bolt that was used on the old oem
un-insulated ground cable.  Then using the extra 10gauge wire coming off the
batt terminal connector, i grounded that wire on the chassis between the
driver's side engine mount and the airbox.

I thought this was how the oem cable was setup, except the oem cable had a
inline connection to the chassis between the driver's side engine mount and
the airbox.  Did I ground incorectly?

I'm a electrical midget.  wires scare me unless they are stereo wires!  =)
anyone know if i screwed this up?
