'62 engine question
It is coming up on 2 months since I started a total redo of the engine compartment on my '62. I'm getting down to small details and I want to make sure everything is done correctly so I'm asking for some assistance.
At present I have 2 10 gauge wires, each attached to the left and right valve covers respectively. If I'm not mistaken these are ground wires. Some 20+ years ago I used an "O" type connector to attach the wire to the valve cover. Now I want to be as original as possible, but I can not find any mention of these ground wires in any parts book or pics. Were these put on before I got the car or were these wires original to '62?
Second,
What is the correct placement of the caution sticker on the expansion tank?
Thanks again!!

You can see them here. The passenger side has 2 ground wires, the second wire coming from the radio mounting bracket if I remember correctly.

A quick check of LectricLimited's web site shows they supply several individual ground wires.
Radio ground wire
Wiper motor ground wire
Blower motor ground wire
Ground strap kit
