Re: [Chevelle-list] ground straps and shims

[John Nasta]

I'm sure Rick is right about the side ones attaching to the frame side of the motor mounts. That makes sense. The A-arms are of course insulated by rubber bushings. So, it seems like the side ones ground the engine to the frame, the back one grounds the engine to the body (firewall), and the fender one grounds the body to the frame.   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Rick Schaefer Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 7:34 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] ground straps and shims     Agree with john on the back of the head to firewall, also from engine  near the engine  mount to the crossmember that engine mount sits on, and third is from body to frame and i think john is right again- lower part of firewall near bottom of fender to the frame.

They are also on each side of the engine and IIRC they attach to the A-Arms or something like that. I think there is also one down at the base of the passenger side fender somewhere. Been a while since I looked at those.     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jimmy C.

I bought a braided copper ground strap kit spicifficley for chevelles. can anyone tell me the proper places, where the straps should be. when I took out the small block, the only ground wires I seen were from the harness to the firewall. thanks for any help !
