[QUOTE="Danno, post: 357650, member: 1535"] '72 302 fastback. Replaced battery due to age a while ago, also replaced cables, now it seems the car intermittently struggles to start, (cranks sluggishly). I have a WIRE running from the ground post on the alternator to one of the attach bolts for the vr. I also have the ground cable running from the battery to the block. These are the only grounds I have at this time. The new ground cable has a WIRE pigtail with a female end spliced onto it. I've read that the more grounds the better so I was wondering if there's a wire that's supposed to connected to this wire then also to the vr bolt. Along with the sluggish starting problem troubleshooting, I am going to double check all my existing ground connections and have my starter tested. I'm mostly concerned about the correct ground locations/configurations. The alternator is putting out within limits too...………….. [/QUOTE]
