<HTML> <BR> If you don't have Air Conditioning - it's very easy to see where that ground strap goes.<BR> near the waterpump, on the left head - you'll see two small bolts - 10 mm hex heads.<BR> - under the intake manifold a bit.<BR> the ground strap goes to either of those.<BR> the other end goes to one of the same size screws under the coil , on the left firewall.<BR> And very flexible medium size grounding braided wire or cable will work just fine.<BR> <BR> you could even use smallish battery cable - but since the engine moves a lot, you want it really flexible - so braided is bettter.<BR> or ......even several heavy wires.<BR> scott<BR> www.turbovans.com <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <span style="font-weight: bold;">On Fri Jul 4 3:56 , "James G.

There is a bit of rusted braid left on the bolt on the firewall but nothing else.<BR> <BR> Could someone point me in the right direction to find where it should have connected - or point me toward a picture of what it should look like.<BR> <BR> Thanks,<BR> <BR> James<BR> </blockquote></HTML> <BR> |
