Looking to run a 10 gauge ground from the ground off the battery to the dash area, in order to hook up gauges, Wideband, etc. to a solid ground. I can find double distribution blocks, but I'm looking for a single block where all the screw terminals are common to one bar.
Having a hard time finding what I thought would something easy to find. I want to attached roughly 6 grounds. Checked Mcmaster, Grainger, Radioshack, Crutchfield, and JEGS. |

They list a copper buss bar, seems like it might tie them all in for a single ground setup. It's worth a phone call. |

Look for the grounding strip. I use one under the dash in my street rod. |

How about using a power distribution block off a 94-96 GM B Body? Probably found in almost any junk yard in the country for next to nothing. This is the stud that the positive battery cable hooks to under the hood. It is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment between the firewall and the big fusebox. Just a thought.

Thanks. My local car stereo shop says he has something. If that proves to be wrong, I know where to go!
