Subject:ground location on 89
From:Mark Schrope

OK, I'm willing to accept the possibility that I'm a little bit slow, but
where is the ground on the driver side of the engine.  Last night while the
oil filter was off I took the tin off the driver side to check the ground.
I couldn't find one anywhere.  Could someone tell me specifically where it
is in relationship to something obvious like the fuel injectors or the oil
pressure sending unit?  I suppose I would rather find that I'm a bit of an
idiot, than that my engine hasn't been grounded since it was put in by the
PO.

The other goal of the night was to put in a new ground on the passenger
side.  I was thinking of running it from one of the bolts on the tin
(between tin and engine) to one of the bolts that attaches the engine
support beam into the frame, just forward of the bumper mounts.  Does this
sound like a good location?  Anybody have other suggestions?  Thanks as
always for the help.  Pmail would be great as I'm on digest and need to do
this today.
