Should star washers go between the boxes and the sheet metal, or between the bolt and the boxes?
Thanks!
Thanks!
That'll eliminate ANY possible grounding gremlins!I don't let bolts do the grounding. If they do all the better, but I run separate ground wires.
I grounded my ignition module from one of its mounting bolts to the factory ground location on the firewall. There's a factory ground wire already there from a bellhousing bolt.Where do you attach the ground wires? Body bolt to sheet metal?
Stolie.....or stolenIf an electrician's kids mis-behave, do they get grounded????
I've been reading a lot here lately that they should be between the bolt and the ICM, same with voltage regulator.....but have ya ever looked under the hood of a newer model Volvo car....man they have grounding lugs EVERWHERE. In my own opinion the more grounds the better.Should star washers go between the boxes and the sheet metal, or between the bolt and the boxes?

Hmm. Maybe I've been doing mine wrong? Rear of head on Psgr side to firewall...I grounded my ignition module from one of its mounting bolts to the factory ground location on the firewall. There's a factory ground wire already there from a bellhousing bolt.
Naw, that's fine as long as the connections are good and clean. Mine just happens to still have the factory ground wire in place.Hmm. Maybe I've been doing mine wrong? Rear of head on Psgr side to firewall...
Please don’t take it as criticism, take it as helping you and anyone else who might want to copy your installation.Factory cars also had working windshield wipers lol.
There's always a critic.
Yup. Lots of people leave grounds off for whatever reason. You need negative cable to engine block or head. "I" run an extra battery size cable with eyelets on each end from block to radiator support. Then I have the factory ground on the bellhousing bolt to the firewall. It probably wouldn't hurt to run one from the block to the frame rail just for the hell of it. What you DON'T want is things like shift linkage, kickdown linkage, exhaust and whatnot acting as grounds. That's how you burns things up in a hurry. A guy brought me a Dart years ago for "electrical problems". He left every single ground off after an engine swap. That thing ground with the column shift linkage through the column and anything it could to get the dash and rest of the circuits "going". Melted the piss outta the entire dash and column harness. He didn't make that mistake again.Cool. When i.took the original 273 outta the 66 satellite, I seem to remember that's where it was, and cleaned it all up, replaced the woven G strap, and duplicated on the Duster
