I only have one earth strp from the chassis to the timing cover on the left side of the engine. The same chassis earthing point also connects the battery, which sits over the rack.
After browsing on the net, many people reccommend at least three straps, starter, block and alternatror. Would this help at all with general running? 
Any thoughts?
Mark. | Diddn't get any answers to this question, so I am trying again.
Maybe the people in the know didn't see it and it went off page 1.
Any thoughts??
