I have a 1984 El Camino that is missing the negative battery cable. I bought a replacement, and for the life of me I cant figure out where the other end attaches. any ideas?
It is grounded to the frame. There should be a bolt hole near the battery mount.
Cold air intakes are usually placed in the fender well area, which brings in a cooler charged air from beneath the car (outside of the engine bay), which is denser and therefore creates more power. The piping is a lot longer than a short ram which means the power gains are not seen until the mid to higher RPM band. A short ram intake is located inside the engine bay and creates power with better response times than a cold air, however the air is not as dense, which means that it doesn't make as much power in the upper RPM region and makes less power overall. '
yes they are the same itsjust the cold air is cheaper you are doing the same thing either way ist both air at the same speed so really its up to you
to the chassie or frame of the car. usually about right under where the battery sits so you dont have to use a long wire.
from the negative pole of your battery, the other end will go engine block and make another ground to car body/frame. you may connect the primary ground together with the bolts the holds the starter motor to the bell housing, it will be a good ground also for starting the engine. then the secondary ground must be connected also from negative of the battery to the body/frame. you may also create/splice the main ground and tap a thick ground wire going to ground make sure tight connection/tap. wrap/lock the tap connection with a copper sheet pressed hard, or just hammer it to lock body ground is necessary so you will experience cable wire burning. why ? battery/electrical circuit will ask/look for shortest way back to battery
