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 |

In front of the distributor there is an untapped hole suitable for an 8mm bolt. No idea why it is there, but I found it most useful. Get an automotive ground cable (I think about 2 or 4 AWG) of suitable length.
