decided to finially dig in and clean up some ground connections last night. Started with the stud that connects to the (-) from the battery. There seems to be a "plastic" washer behind the nut/washer/wire. It also seems to be fixed. Is this original?
I would have figured the wire would have grounded directly to the body not just to the stud connected to the body. any thoughts...pictures...etc.... I'll take a pic of mine tonight |

Not original AFAIK.
It is sometimes a good idea to add a cable from the stud on the engine wall to the fan shroud. This would make a more direct path than through the body, to the transmission ground strap, through the transmission, and through the engine case. The alternator is grounded through the fan shroud, and the starter through the transmission case. Even solid appearing bodies are not the best conductors. |
