I would figure so. Anyways, I'm just curious. Is there any common ground issues with these cars- with the stock grounding cable's?
I don't know, that's why I'm asking. BUT, to me, one cable coming off the battery and going to the engine mount is not good enough. Especially after 30+ years. There is so much electrical stuff on these car's along with them being fuel injected. Heck, Full Size Jeep's have terrible grounding issues with their factory set up and they are kind of archaic compared to this Lincoln of mine. I've added many to my Jeep and the electrical equipment works so much better because of it.
This afternoon I added some to the car too. Didn't really notice any change with anything, but I figure it'd be better with them. I added 3 grounds to the body, 2 to the frame and 1 to the engine all going straight to the battery NEG.
Another question for discussion: Why do people swap out the alternator on these car's? What's the factory amp output of them? Is it low for how much the car can consume? So far I've had no issue with mine, and I think its factory stock. At idle with the lights on, I'm still getting 14.5ish volts at the battery measured with my multimeter.
