I am trying to put the ground straps on my 1966 coup and have several questions:
1. Is the picture below the correct routing for the antenna ground strap. I can't quite figure out the AIM and could find no pictures.
2. The AIM (U69 A4) states that the ground strap is on the RH motor mount while the judging manual (pg 59) says the LH motor mount. Which is correct? In this regard since the engine is already in the car - will I get myself into big trouble if I remove the front bolt - I am assuming the ground strap goes on the bolt that holds the motor mount to the engine. That assumes I can get to this bolt - which is questionable since the car has Power Steering. While I may lose a few points - will there be a problem if I use the rear bolt, assuming the ground strap is long enough.
3. THe second picture below is from the AIM and shows a ground strap to the LH body bracket. I can't figure out where this is. Is this the mount just to the rear of the left front tire well (picture 3)? if so I can see the hole for one end of the strap - but where does the other side connect? Does anyone have a picture (worth a thousand words as they say).
Thanks for all of the help.
