hi everyone,
Taking Simplyconnected's suggestion, I got a new battery ground cable and went right from the negative post to the starter.
So to part with the old cable. It is bolted to the intake manifold in the front - right next to the oil filler cap.
I am hesitant to remove the bolt lest I mess up the overall tightness of the manifold to the block and thus induce a leak. Kind of goes against the criss-cross installation process.
Might be my caution from dealing with modern, alloy heads that are prone to leaking.
Any thoughts? Occurs to me that if worst comes to worst I can just cut the cable off near the bolt with a hacksaw blade and be done with it. Really won't show.
thanks!
