Ummmm Sell it on eBay

I didn't think those kits replaced the ground wire? I thought they added to the "Grounding Effect"

how about you post up pics so we can tell which kit it is and what goes where. every kit is different and all the guys here are shooting in the dark, some connect the distribution block to the ground, some dont, some daisy chain off of old grounds. so throw us some pics and itll help us help you
