U69 front engine mount ground strap location?

[Tony S.]

I could use some help clarifying a contradiction between the 1965 AIM and the 1965 JG regarding the correct location of the front engine mount ground strap location.

The '65 AIM indicates that the front engine mount ground strap is located on the right side engine mount [U69, page A4].

The '65 JG reads, "radio equipped cars have a ... ground strap on the left side only...

Which is it? The right side or the left side?

Thanks.

I would think there would be a hole in the frame near where the ground strap attached which would indicate which side it was installed on.....

On a 67 it is on the left drivers side. Can't say what happened in 65

There's a hole on each side.

I just looked at my AIM for 1967. The REVISION RECORD on the bottom of UPC U69 A3 was drawn on 5-11-66. A revision was made on 9-7-66 from RH engine mount to LH engine mount for the location of the ground strap.

Are both holes that you found threaded?

If you look at the actual drawing on the UPC, can you determine the motor mount to be the left one based on FWD and the frame depiction??? and the engine mount was miss labeled which got changed in my above reference.....
