    Engine ground location

    Hi, I'm wondering where the battery ground hooks up to on an F22A1 manual transmission CB7? I took the motor out and put it back in by memory (don't ever do that) and have had random electrical issues since then. Now I realize I had both wires from the battery negative terminal going to chassis. I believe one of them is supposed to go to the engine or transmission. Can't find any info on here or google, so I can someone please enlighten me and even post a picture? Thanks a lot

    The battery ground goes to the chassis near the bottom of the radiator. There is also a ground that goes to the thermostat. Then there is another ground that goes to the valve cover. Those are the ones I know off the top of my head, I wouldn't doubt if there were others.

    EDIT: Also check out this thread, it should help you make sense of most electrical problems you run into.

      At least on the automatics, the large wire on the battery ground goes to a lug low on the front of the transmission housing.

        Its the same on the MT. You can just bolt the ground any where on the engine/trans then to the frame/battery.

          Thanks everyone. Hooked it to the engine but it turned out the problem was actually a ground next to the power steering reservoir going weak. Rebuilt it and everything is fine

          Bad grounds ruin EVERYTHING. lol
