Re: [DML] Re: Grounds

Speaking of grounds, when I spent a month catching up by reading back issues 
before joining the current stream, there was a subject about alternator 
trouble. And someone said that the delorean doesn't have very much 
grounding, hench some of the power problems. (including bad alternators) And 
a aid to this was to get a heavy wire, and bolt it down to the frame, and to 
the nearest grounding point. (i.e. the alternator) But this was months ago, 
I'm not a expert on deloreans, just a wannabe owner. I could be wrong.
