Nice call, I found .4 volts between the alternator case and engine case
(engine running, high beams on). I added a hefty cable between the
alternator case and chassis. Also cleaned  the alternator's adjustment
bracket's contact surfaces. I had already added grounds from each head to
chassis so cranking ground losses were <.1 volts. Thanks for getting me
thinking. We will see if it helps my recent, intermittent high idle.
        I would like to add that the ground clusters behind the fuse
block can cause problems . Especially if you have a windshield that leaks
on them.


Good Luck and Drive Safely
