Wondering if someone can post pics of the 2 ground wires that mount to the driver's side of the engine block. Recently swapped to a cast iron block. Now it won't start.

There is a thick ground strap under the steering column that goes from the frame to the block.

Don't forget to connect the interior fuse box (wire from the firewall) to the main.
