Picture of Ground Wires

Post by budzinsk »

Hi Everyone. I am in the middle of restoring a 1984 spider. I am not able to get it to run because the ECU is not sending a ground pulse to the fuel injectors. In reading another thread on this site, I believe the issue is I do not have a ground wire from the firewall to the passenger side cam cover nor do I have one from the Coil Block to the cam cover. I can easily put these on, but I would really like to see where these mount on the firewall, cam tower and coil block. Would someone be willing to take a few pictures for me of what these look like? I will preface this by saying my wiring harness on the passenger side was some home made contraption - see below. I needed to take this out and I am trying to locate a used one before I try and make one myself. That is why there is no free wires hanging around - they are likely somewhere in this clump of wire with cutoff terminals.

Thanks so much!

OK first pic is the cam pic obviously .... at the base of the wire holder is where it is attached ....... this wire then goes to the coil bracket (second pic) .... I could find no wire that went from cam tower to firewall ...sorry ... but I imagine that it should accomplish grounding the cam tower.. Matt
