i was gonna upload a pic but for some reason the email wont send from the phone to the computer, so if it works ill upload it later, but...
on the passenger side of the car on the wire loom that has the connectors for the starter and o2 sensors, there is a small stud maybe 1-1.5 inches long with and electrical wire bolted on via a nut.
i have no idea what it is for, my 1st instinct was the starter but there is no place to screw it in. it is pretty small in diameter
any info would help alot

1997 lt1 camaro

 

here it is

 

Screws in on the block right in front of the starter.

 

 

well **** me in the ***....
when putting that wire loom on the block, i broke the bolt i was using flush in that hole..

is it possible to ground that ANYwhere else?
or maybe i could drill a hole in the block and tap it?
id rather do almost anything else other than remove the engine again and ez-out that sucker
man i feel really really stupid right now

 

You can ground it anywhere on the block.

 

thanks so much!
now just one more question. it may be a dumb question, idk, but can you drill the hole in the ground to make it the size of the larger side of the stud? or does the ground have to have a certain amount of metal on it in order to work correctly?
sorry, im relatively new to mechanics and know about as much as they tell you in public high school science class about electricals (which is close to nothing)

 

Make it whatever you want. Just make sure it is securely grounded.
