My car had been wrecked in the past and had a new front end grafted on. Probably during its race years. When they put the new front end on, it did not have any ground studs where the headlights are.
As a fix, they just used a sheet metal screws for the ground and put it through the fender well. As a result, a couple ground wires are just floating in air not connected because they can not reach the sheet metal screw. I want to hook them up as they should be. Is there an early v late version of the ground studs and location? |

There isn't a ground stud in the nose of the car. BUt the ground wires get looped into bolts and ground that way.
What wires are hanging free? Many of the headlight ground wires wires go to the bolt holes that hold the plastic covers for the headlight actuator arms. Zach |

Zach I have a pic of another 74 that has a bolt for a ground connection right by the headlights. The wires floating free on mine are both brown ground wires.  |
