Grounding strap

[dswalterwi at earthlink.net (Don Walter)]

It attaches underneath in the fender area.  You can barely see it from the tire side (look way up).  It then continues on to the transmission and connects on the back side (once again where it is hard to see.  If you need to make aquick repair run a ground from the neagtive side of the battery to the hold down bolt of the battery bracket.  Then run a piece over to a starter bolt or all the way over to the main bolt for the alternator (I have both run).

All-

I was working on my '88 16v the other day and I was looking at the
grounding strap coming off the battery and it didn?t look so good.  I
put an ohm meter on it and it came up very high.  I was wondering what
size I needed to replace it and where does it attach to (other than the
battery).  I saw it running under the battery box but couldn't follow it
any farther than that.
