There are two main ground locations with multiple wires at each. They are located at the back of both cylinder heads.

A lot of different areas. What is behind these questions? Maybe it would be easier to discuss the problem.

Default No driver side ground?

Sorry to drag up another dead thread but, I can't seem to find the driver side location. I found the pass side main location fine. I am assuming the driver side would be in the same spot exact opposite of the pass side. I have felt, looked from top and from the bottom, even used a mirror and flashlight trying to find the driver side location but, can't seem to. Did the 96 not have both locations or am I just to blind to find it?

Was I right about them being exact opposite of each other? Because I do have a bolt there with nothing going to it.

Thanks, I guess I'll be splitting looms tonight when I get home from work to try and figure this out. Do you remember if there was enough slack in the wire for the driver side to cross over and ground on the pass side? Yesterday when I was looking around I noticed that one of the onnes going to the pass side that started to go towards the drivers side bolt then looped back to pass side bolt.

Default Found it!! But still have a question.

Ok, so both sets of ground were going to pass side. One set went to the head bolt and one set to the last lower intake bolt. So, now my question is can I use just the lower intake bolt for ease later on down the road? or do they need to go the head?
