Where to connect the ground cable

Post by mxysxy »

The cable that comes out of the starter motor goes all the way up between radiator and engine.
About the radiator top height, grounding comes out of this cable and screwed to the engine block.

Can someone please post a pic of where does this grounding screws to?
I am not sure about the location

Thanks

ok the Positive runs to the battery

and the earth runs up under the airbox. It must just be bolted to the body under there somewhere. Looks like some otehr cables going there two..i.e. the earth from the battery.

Have a look there.
