I removed my engine over a year ago, and am finally getting everything put back together. I have quite a few bags of bolts, which I labeled where they came from and what size, etc.

I have one bolt that says "ground cable on block above starter"...and it's been so long ago I don't remember what that ground looks like. I have one main part of the harness that has been "unaccounted for" on the passenger side, and I'm wondering if this is the ground that went there?



This is part of the body harness I believe - it's connected to some of the wiring that attaches to the battery.

Look familiar to anyone? If it is in fact the ground that goes "on block above starter", any clues to where that might be? Kinda vague description for 1+ years later.

 

The red one on the right looks like it belongs to the starter.
I can't answer where near the starter that ground goes to, but I bolted mine farther forward than the starter.
As long as you provide a good connection, to any bolt hole, it will work fine.

 

They're both black I think...or maybe it's just really dirty. I'll double check though.

 

Yes, maybe you're correct. It could be the reflection of the red paint.

 

Actually the one on the left is red so that's probably for the starter and the right cable is block ground.

 

That makes sense...the red one would have insulation because it's close to the exhaust manifold.
