Re: Help on installing a new battery cable kit and - Where is the engine ground located?
Well I installed the FORD battery cable kit today. Turns out FORD builds the kit to include a combined positive/negative cable with a brackect that mounts to the rear of the passenger side head, The groiund wire is oart of the henress and mounts to a ground point using one of the tranny to engins bloeck mounta just aboue the starter.
So I :
- Removed the abttery
- Raised the vehicle
- removed the two cats that go from the exhaust manifold to tail pipe
- removed old ground wire (could see corrosion)
- removed positive lead from starter
replaced in thet order with the new OEM wire kit.
- Added two extra ground straps from block to frame
- clecned up any police related cut and go snips I could see. The power block alone had three pig tails fo former power leads.
Reversed the removal process to install.
Car fired right up and runs great. It seems smoother under full throtle and is still very fast. Starts right away. Happy car once again.
GOD BLESS!
