Grounding question

crackedback said

Creedmoor got it on the battery ground cable.

You may want to run a ground strap from engine to chassis If you ground everything to the stud in your engine compartment, a 12ga wire may not be large enough. I'd consider using the chassis to ground items not close to your compartment ground stud.

Use the ground stud for headlights, EFI or other electronics in the compartment.

Good idea vs bolting them all up to the radiator support.

I am planning all parallel grounding.I will install the main negative cable to the engine head and run a #10 from a different place on the engine to the chassis (read body, perhaps MC bolt). I have two multiple terminal grounding bars installed, one in the steering column support steel under the dash and one above the battery behind the core support. All supplemental grounding is being run to these grounding bars which are tied together also with a #14 ground wire. My plan is to run a single cable from the battery negative to my battery shutoff switch. From the closed circuit side of the kill switch I will build a custom cable that runs to the left engine head with a #10 parallel conductor running to my grounding bar in the engine bay. I am trying to avoid grounding ghosts in the machine as the entire car has about 4 coats of epoxy paint on everything. Thanks for responding---------DR-----------O:)
