Ignition wiring sanity check

vex · 04-13-2011, 08:16 PM

I'm thinking of attaching it to the engine block itself, is that good enough? I've moved the battery to passenger bin so it would be a hassle to put it through the cannon plug unless it can work with a 20 AWG which I don't think would be good. I could run a 16 AWG wire for it, but I don't really want to attempt to shove it into the plug and would have to directly pass it through the firewall which doesn't look all that great.

I suppose I could measure the resistance between the point I intend and the negative battery cable in the cabin, which should give me a better idea if it's a good place or not. Is there a specific Ohm reading I should hope to see?
