Does it make any difference what size cable I use for the chassis ground? I know 1ga is probably overkill but that's all they had in stock in the length I needed with ring terminals already on em

1ga sure won't hurt anything, but yes, it is a touch overkill. You'll have a good connection though!91 Mercury CP, Lopo 302, AOD, 3.08LSD. 3g upgrade, Moog wagon coils up front, cc819s in the back.

Cool. Looks kind of funny, the EEC ground is like 12ga at most, chassis and block grounds are both 1ga and the + battery cables (solenoid to battery, battery to fuse, fuse to alternator) are 4ga
It looks like the block ground is only maybe 8ga and the chassis is like 10ga.
goddamn marine terminals are convenient!
I need to get some sort of corrosion inhibitor - is such a product made? I don't wanna replace corroded terminals and cables in a few monthssigpic

You can buy a protective spray, or slather them in dielectric grease.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements
