Motor compartment wiring
I just "dropped" my rebuilt motor in and hooked up the bellhousing and pressure plate to torque convertor.
There is a bolt that's located on the driver's side, second from the bottom with a stud in the back. I'm pretty sure that it's for ground for something not sure which ones.
There is also a ground bolt that's attached to the engine block by the engine oil cooler, that's close to the other ground on the bellhousing. Which wires go where?
Thanks so much again!

Re: (scorp508)
Scorp, on my car there are six bolts that attach the bellhousing to the ENGINE(not motor OK OK). Two on the driver's side, one on top of the other(top, bottom). Two more in between the driver and passenger side. And two more on the pass. side, top and bottom.
Just trying to describe the difference between the two bolts in question.
The bolt that connects to the block is a lot bigger, perhaps by 2x's.
If I can find out which goes to which bolt maybe I can back track it.
Thanks

I think the bellhousing ones you might be referring to are just the positioning studs that come out of the block and go into the bellhousing. Does this sound about right? There should be a couple of holes in the bellhousing that they fit into.
The only thing I have on my car connected to any bellhousing bolts is the tach filter. It has a small aluminum bracket that bolts it into the upper-left bolt on the top of the bellhousing.

Re: (BIG K)
Geez, get offended easily? I was just kidding - and trying to tell you that you're using the word "motor" incorrectly. Look it up - a motor is used to describe an electric device. An engine is an internal combustion device. Thought you would want to know the difference.
