Ground strap location
Can anyone tell me where this ground strap belongs? One end is screwed into the firewall but the other end is loose. This is a 66 C20 with a 327. Thanks!

Re: Ground strap location
Check the diameter of the hole in the ground strap that will give a clue. Are you looking for the factory location for resto purposes? And I don't know for sure, you might check in the factory assembly manual. I'd just match it up to the closest bolt that fits in the hole in the strap. Someone changed motors and forgot to hook it up I'm guessing, good luck...Vernski

Re: Ground strap location
I was thinking it goes to the engine as well. But where? Does it just go to a valve cover bolt?
This is an original truck, btw. |

Re: Ground strap location
Valve cover is acceptable, some chevy models, used the valve cover bolt for the ground, my original is on the inner front fender right side to frame...

Re: Ground strap location
Back lower valve cover bolt is the correct location
