Of all my favorite things to do, The utmost is to have a brew.
My love grows for my foamy friend, with each thirst-quenching elbow bend.
Beer so frosty, smooth, and cold it's paradise pure liquid gold.
Yes beer means many things to me that's all for now cus I gotta pee.

The reason I asked is because when it's hot outside she is slow to crank. and I've heard that a poor ground would make it do that.

Mine is on the exhaust manifold bolt (closest to the front, pass side), because my heads don't have any accessory bolt holes.

I always had a problem with a major ground cable on an alum. manifold because of corrosion. Best place in my opinion is either on the cyl head, or further down near the fuel pump if it won't interfere with the fuel lines

Prefer mine like the photo...

Usually a bolt hole there on small blocks.
