Subject:      is this a ground point?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi,

I took most stuff out of my engine bay in doing my Bostig conversion.  I
needed a to ground a wire from the new wiring harness and added a wire to
this spot.  I'm wondering if I've done Yet Another Stupid Novice Thing and
connected to something that isn't what I thought it was.

This is in the engine bay on the driver's side of an '85 westy auto.  The
triangular opening on the left side of the picture is the box where the ecu
would live, and the wire bundle running through the picture is the wiring
that runs to the rear lights.

I think I saw the wires coming out of that bundle, screwed to the wall, and
thought "well, there's a ground point".  I still think that's logical but I
just figured I would give everyone a chance for a good laugh in case I'm
spectacularly wrong.

I'm having trouble with my alternator putting out too high a voltage and
trying to make sure all ground points I'm using are good.

Thanks,

mike
