Whatever you do cover yor alternator with a plastic bag, you don't want to get that wet, and also try to cover the other electrical components, i.e distributer, IC, ect. For the hard to get places, use carb cleaner, it's expensive, but gets the job done for ridding your engine of dirt. I suggest the oil degreaser 'steam'. It works great.

This was already talked aboutin this thread (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=229456&highlight=engine+bay+clean)

wouldnt u ground the engine to the chassis and the chassis to the battery??

Yea, but instead of your alternator, being attached to your engine, then your engine being grounded to your chassis, then your chassis finding the wire, that’s connected to your - battery terminal (some resistance in all that) its a direct - ground from your alternator, direct to the - battery with one wire, less resistance I think??

Just a quick Q... Is the Circle Earth Kit motor specific or Car/Year specific? And where is the best place to get one?

no its not car specific. I believe summit sells them (by the way I have a huge summit sport compact, skunkz 2, and quakerstate banners if anyone wants them). I'v made them before out of some billet aluminum and 8g power wire.
