    NOT the exhaust manifold. Do everything he said except that. I think the way the ground is this in order: Frame, intake manifold, block, tranny, negative terminal, and frame again. If you want you can also ground the alternator if you have enough wire. The exhaust is a bad idea cuz it gets really hot and could melt or cause a problem. i don't think current can travel through a heated material easily, the resistance is increased dramatically.

    yup rollatuner has it right and in the correct order.. the alternator on the 93-97 however does not have a ground wire, I think it's grounded to the engine by way of the bracket

    93-97's blocks are grounded on the left (as your looking at it) thru a wire that runs to the frame from the intake manifold.. anything on the block or tranny is grounded thru that wire because oviously electricity cant get thru the rubber mounts.
