Engine ground pics. Anyone have them?
Does anyone have actual engine bay pics that show all the grounds? I followed this link and it had the drawings http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...e-grounds.html. I'm having issues putting the black and white pic to the actual placement in the engine bay. Thanks

Just so anyone that needs to know where the chassis grounds are; All the C5 and C6 chassis ground points are symmetrical on the frame. If you find a ground point at one point on the chassis, there will be one just like it on the other side of the frame. All the C5 engine grounds are also symmetrical except G-107 which is on the back of the driver’s side head only.
97 and early 98 (rear mounted EBTCM) are the only C5s that have a ground wire on G-402. All the late 98+ C5 do not use that chassis ground point and you will find a rubber cap on the stud.
Along with chassis grounds are Splice Packs (SP)
Splice packs join multiple circuit grounds to one central connector and then ground that connector to a chassis ground point thru a single wire.
Here is an example of a splice pack. It’s a chassis ground connector without the metal ground tab. There is a shorting buss in the connector that connects all the pins together:
Splice packs can get dirty and corroded just like the standard ground connectors:
