I'm trying to keep up with this thread because I actually did try this mod and wanted to know what others were trying in the community. Some things being said here don't match up in my little brain.
-Grounding to solve for electrical noise/static is typically an action taken for radio broadcast systems and that solution usually involves inserting copper into the earth. If I was trying to solve for this in an automotive solution, I'd probably use a capacitor too. Correct me if I'm wrong, Radio systems (and noise) are AC in nature, so trying to make it easier on the return to the closed loop DC battery won't exactly fix the condition of static buildup. Electrical blood-letting (I feel like if I used the word bleeding someone would pick up on that and snipe me for using a common resistor term with a capacitor) and shielding is a much better solution.
-Can you create a ground loop on a single source DC system? Once again, I know ground loops as the condition created when you cross connect two dissimilar AC neutrals and grounds together and learn about your mistake at the first convenient electrical storm (in the IT world, the old Rocketport system used in between buildings, or Coax thinnet as someone said previous). On the DeLorean, I'd think that as long as all ground wires go back to the battery via the frame, engine, or direct cable it wouldn't matter how many bus bars you would have cross connected (providing your connections at the bars were clean).
-Hey guys, this is America (and UK, Poland, Australia, etc)- If anyone wants to take out their capacitors just because, it's a free country. Personally, I'd recommend to those who try that they get a large ipod for their music delights afterwards because unless we're wrong, the radio reception is going to suck.
Now, can anyone guess how many talking points I just created for the next 64 DML postings? I bet I'm totally wrong about all of this stuff, and I bet someone here is willing to prove it to me.
One more question- Does anyone know the difference between the DML and a local bar?

Single point isn't the problem. Most cars only have one point to the battery itself. The problem is only seven ground wires leading back to the rear bulkhead bolt -- there simply isn't enough wire on the negative side. There is a terrible disparity between electrical cross section on the positive side and on the negative side. That is why the DeLorean electrical system is so ridiculously noisy (which is giving the EFI boys fits BTW: the only way they can get their Megasquirt modules to work right is by regrounding their cars too).
The nice people at Lotus/DMC stuck capacitors all over the car trying to quiet things down. They would have had better results with the 1981 equivalent of $50 of battery cable and copper connectors.
What cracks me up is the DeLorean mantra of "cleaning your grounds." You can't clean the junctions -- they are soldered together. The problem that they are dirty -- the problem is that there are too few wires joining them together.
Marc, David, Martin, Harold, et al have managed to tie themselves in knots over this issue. I choose to stand with Rob Grady, Dave McKeen, and the owners I have assisted, who not only clearly recognize the problem for what it is (it takes a brave man -- or a naive one -- to claim that the DeLorean electrical system is not problematic on its best day), but who also are just plain more mellow about the problem, and about its remedy.

Correction: Harold's Message #85598 is actually rather mellow -- he's not part of the current running around with your hands in the air crowd (we'll let Tom take his place).
Harold does have a loose DeLorean wiring harness he can use to verify that the inertia switch is grounded via the ground junction behind the central HVAC duct.... (I've already unwrapped #2508's wiring harness to discover the same thing, but Harold could ring it out with a meter to prove it to anyone who doubts my research).

You have provided nothing to back up this statement (below).
We do not know WHY the capacitors were added, but anyone that understands how a capacitor works would also understand how a bigger ground wire would never replace a the need/function of a capacitor.
"noise" problems and "ground" problems are commonly confused, but are not cured in the same way. The discussion (for me) was never about what advantages/disadvantages/need there is for bigger (or additional) grounds, but your connecting these 2 unrelated subjects and again blaming the engineers for it.
Considering I have an EFI DeLorean, with LOTS of extra electrical demand over a stock DMC (because of the 1000W Stereo), this is a subject I have spent a lot of time working on, with the specific application of a DeLorean.

Again you get it wrong. The capacitors are NOT there to make up for any inadequacy of the grounding system of the car. They are there to remove any noise on the electrical system that can interfere with the radio's reception. There is PLENTY of capacity on the ground side PROVIDED the connections are clean. When the cars were much younger there were no issues with the electrical system that pertained to the ground side. What changed? The cars got older and connections corroded, especially on the cars that were subjected to weather. Older computer systems were VERY sensitive to grounding. You had to be careful not to create what was called "Ground Looping" so they all used what was called single point grounding and even that had to be handled very carefully. Most of that was overcome by software that did error checking and correction and sending packets (bunches) of information. Different circumstances than an automobile's wiring system which uses the wiring mainly for power.

I've spent a lot of time working on my DeLorean too (is it possible I know as much about these stupid little cars as the self proclaimed "gurus"...).
Since we're comparing DeLorean sizes in the schoolyard: my car draws about 62 amps maximum (2,000 RPM, everything on except the window motors):
http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/374927_303124723066118_184072810_n.jpg
I may have the only DeLorean in the world that could reliably use a stock ground system, which makes its added super efficient ground bus very ironic indeed.

Bill - That will work fine until all of the connections to your ground bus start
to corrode. Still won't remove the need for capacitors though.
If you don't believe me - remove them all.

Subject: [DML] Inadequate DeLorean Grounding Identified (Big Red Circle)
For anyone who can not -- or will not -- read a schematic, I have drawn a big
red circle around the root cause of inadequate DeLorean grounding:
http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/600218_424190510959538_985636846_n.jpg
This is what distinguishes DeLoreans from traditional metal bodied cars, which
present a *MUCH* bigger ground path. Simply augmenting these seven wires to
present a ground path of similar electrical profile to a metal bodied car
revolutionizes the DeLorean electrical system.
IMHO.

Won't happen -- my bus is weather protected inside the passenger compartment. Even the bus to battery connection is inside. There are only two external connections to the bus:
Front radiator bracket: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/383933_294239117288012_384394085_n.jpg
Engine block (at the top, thank you very much, not right next to the pavement): http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/387305_294242413954349_1594776592_n.jpg
Everything else is just as weather protected as my upholstery, carpet, and headliner.
Note also that bus connections are not left bare as pictured in Message #85588 (that picture just illustrated how soldered factory junctions are attached to the bus). The saddle clamp is then wrapped in heat shrunk tape: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/532723_357245094320747_1768539170_n.jpg
Bus connections aren't even exposed to the climate controlled atmosphere inside the car!
Metal bodied cars contemporary to the DeLorean typically had capacitors on ignition only. They didn't need capacitors anywhere else because something as simple as turn signals didn't create a bunch of electrical noise. My ground bus emulates the electrical efficiency of a metal bodied car.

Bill - That will work fine until all of the connections to your ground bus start
to corrode. Still won't remove the need for capacitors though.
If you don't believe me - remove them all.

For anyone who can not -- or will not -- read a schematic, I have drawn a big
red circle around the root cause of inadequate DeLorean grounding:
http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/600218_424190510959538_985636846_n.jpg
This is what distinguishes DeLoreans from traditional metal bodied cars, which
present a *MUCH* bigger ground path. Simply augmenting these seven wires to
present a ground path of similar electrical profile to a metal bodied car
revolutionizes the DeLorean electrical system.
IMHO.

Again, this is a proof that you only read what you want to and not what was
actually said.

As I have said before. New cars have capacitors mounted inside parts of the
cars and you just don't see them. Just because you don't see them doesn't
mean they are not there. Wiper motors, blower motors, even electric window
motors have capacitors installed inside the motor housing. This is for two
reasons:
1. A capacitor works best when installed as close to the source of noise as
possible
2. It lower the assembly cost - they just ask the manufacturer to supply a
part that doesn't create electrical noise.
Can I make it any clearer for you to understand it? If you don't believe me,
go to an auto parts store and buy a wiper motor. Take it apart and you find
this little black box inside attached to the wires. This is your
non-existent capacitor. They are there.
Bill, the earth must be flat right? You don't see the curvature so it must
be flat!
Give it a rest already!

With all due respect, you are guilty of the very thing of which you accuse me:
I clearly wrote "cars contemporary to the DeLorean." You even quoted my words in your reply. I guess you quoted them without reading them. "Contemporary to the DeLorean" means 1981 model year, not any 21st century model year.
As soon as I get back from some errands I will scan and post the wiring diagrams for my 1981 AMC. It has exactly *ONE* capacitor in the entire car, on ignition.
And yet, for some reason, all of the other electrical devices on the car do not send its electrical system into a tailspin....
My 1981 AMC does not have a capacitor on its windshield wipers.
My 1981 AMC does not have a capacitor on its turn signals.
My 1981 AMC does not have a capacitor on its blower motor.
My 1981 AMC does not have a capacitor on its headlight switch.
Etc.
By virtue of increasing the wire size between all of my 1981 DeLorean's ground junctions, I have effectively given my 1981 DeLorean an electrical cross section comparable to my 1981 AMC.
If the 1981 AMC wiring diagrams aren't enough to convince you, I have 1979 Lincoln wiring diagrams I can scan and post (I'll give you a sneak preview -- they only have one capacitor as well, on ignition).

By your own admission, the DMC is far more technically advanced than your beloved AMC.
Do those cars have electronic AFR control (lambda)?
Do those cars have electronic idle control?
Do those cars have electronic ignition?
Did your AMC Sell for $25K in 1981? the customer paying $25K for a car in 1981 had higher expectations than the average AMC customer.. For one thing, I doubt they would tolerate any noises through the radio (again, assuming that is the function of these capacitors- Still, no one has confirmed this!)..
Remember, the DMC was meant to complete with Cadillac, and Mercedes.. Not AMC. So, I ask this (honest question, I don't know the answer); How does this "capacitor study" compare to a comparable vehicle? That is, one with similar technology features.
Have you considered the possibility that the capacitors were engineered in to the design by someone who was "just being safe" with such an expensive car? In reality, they may not be needed at all.. either way, you can come up with all of the observations you want but a "ground bus" will never replace the function of a capacitor.

Doc Brown probably wouldn't have needed a flux capacitor had he installed a ground bus.

I think the problem here is nobody can argue with Bill's assertion that "other cars don't have caps as part of the loom" because we don't have much collective experience with contemporary cars. But given his assertion on the far more obvious "all cars since the model T have had spare wheels", or "more 2100 carburetors were built than K-jet systems" I think we're on pretty solid ground that he's wrong.
Either way however, those of us who understand what a cap does and what it's for know the number present as part of the loom can't be considered a measure of the quality of "these stupid little cars" - that'd be "laughably preposterous".

Capacitors were Lotus/DMC's unsuccessful attempt to quiet the electrical system down. It didn't work -- electrical noise has the EFI boys pulling their hair out. The only way they have managed to get their modules to work right is by regrounding their vehicles.
You too have admitted running new grounds to try to sort this mess out. Not to be the bearer of bad news, but that puts you on our side of the sandbox....

Subject: Re: [DML] Capacitors, and "Ground Bus"
And Martin's ongoing wrongness continues....
Did you even bother to look at my ground bus schematic? It goes from original soldered junction to original soldered junction. All I've done is pull off the heat shrink and clamp the junction against a 4 gauge battery cable:
http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/547536_357252900986633_1055858619_n.jpg
My ground bus augments the original seven ganged 12 gauge wires with 4 gauge battery cable because *THAT* is where the problem is. The reason it works so well is because the original seven ganged wires back to the bulkhead bolts are what are *SO* inadequate. There is a massive disparity between positive wire cross section and negative wire cross section to the rear bulkhead bolt (and an even bigger disparity in the single 6 gauge wire between the rear bulkhead bolt to the frame).
Note: In addition to the above, my bus also:
- Adds another path to the battery itself
- Adds another engine block ground
- Supplements the frame as a ground path

I added new grounds from the battery to the alternator, because when my 1000W stereo was at full blast, the engine ECU would run the engine lean.
in *MY* case, the voltage drop across the "stock" electrical path from the alternator to the battery was too high.. as the amperage went up through that path, the voltage drop also increased, causing a LOW VOLTAGE situation at my ECU.
My problem has NOTHING to do with noise. The only capacitor I added to my car is connected directly to my sub-woofer amplifier. This is a "stiffening capacitor" that allows the amplifier to get large amounts of current from the capacitor instead of the battery on demand. Adding the capacitor had NO IMPACT on my ECU issues.
Once again, I am not faulting anyone who wants to add a "ground bus". I admit to adding grounds in my car and many others, so I am not sure what point you are trying to prove by mentioning it yet again. The fact remains, you can replace all of the fiberglass in the car with copper, and it will not replace the function of a capacitor.

Capacitors were Lotus/DMC's unsuccessful attempt to quiet the electrical system down. It didn't work -- electrical noise has the EFI boys pulling their hair out. The only way they have managed to get their modules to work right is by regrounding their vehicles.
You too have admitted running new grounds to try to sort this mess out. Not to be the bearer of bad news, but that puts you on our side of the sandbox....

As promised, 1981 AMC wiring diagrams. I circled the *ONE* capacitor in red so you don't have to do a Where's Waldo search for it:

1981 AMC's differ from 1981 DeLoreans because they have metal unit body construction (100% galvanized, thank you very much). Whereas 1981 DeLoreans depend upon seven wires to ground nearly all of the vehicle's circuits, 1981 AMC's use the entire car structure as a gigantic ground bus.
By joining all of my DeLorean's original ground junctions to the battery with 4 gauge battery cable, I am giving its original seven ground wires an electrical cross section much more similar to a metal bodied car.
Why is this simple concept so hard for certain DMLer's, who claim to be smarter than me, to grasp?
Oh well, at least I get to enjoy the benefits of a properly grounded vehicle.

Not to beat a dead Delo, but while Bill's idea of a heavy cable is good, I
believe that a good piece of braided cable...like that sometimes found on
negative battery cables, would be a much easier means of accomplishing the
same effect. Plenty of conductivity, and connecting to can be done with a
screw and appropriate washers and anywhere in the cable without having to
remove insulation, etc. The washers should include penetrating stars.
Which of course is what should be part of any of the grounds to the chassis,
frame, etc. The points penetrate the oxidized/paint on the metal and prove
to be "air tight".
The capacitors might not be needed around switches and inductive devices,
probably reversed diodes would serve the same process. The kicks from
relays and motors coming on and going off (inductive devices) go negative,
which is damped out by the diode. Don't remove the capacitors now...but
adding diodes wouldn't hurt anything.

My ground bus *IS* made of 4 gauge twisted wire battery cable.
At each junction in the original harness I stripped a saddle clamp's width of insulation, slid the saddle clamp into position, stripped the heat shrink off the factory junction, then used the saddle clamp to press the junction and the cable against each other:
http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/547536_357252900986633_1055858619_n.jpg
Each saddle clamp was then wrapped in heat shrink tape to protect it from oxidation:
http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/534213_357245200987403_538568872_n.jpg
The OEM ground system was not changed -- I *SUPPLEMENTED* it with parallel 4 gauge cable, all the way to the battery:
