It is not uncommon to have .2 ohms resistance in your meter leads.   Touch your meter leads together and see what your meter displays.  Chances are it will read .2 ohms.

You're going to get some resistance. Zero is really theoretical for the reason's "Idiot" stated above. Regular wire / sheet metal has resistance and the further away from the alternator ground you are, the more resistance you'll see.

Thanks for the reply,,,I just try touching the leads on my fluke meter and go figure it had all 0's,,,but I went and checked other areas that would be close to the amp and it is all about the same,,,sometimes it will read 0.00 depending on how i have leads touching, but it never go's above 0.02, so i think it will be ok..

thanks again for the reply, i didn't think anyone was going to .....i realy appreciate it....tattooedpratt
