should be somewhere close to the bottom right corner

 

thanks for the fast responses im going to go check it out

 

that bolted to the power steering but since you dont have it anymore, find a spot on the block to connect it, I think the valve cover would be a bad spot because its totataly rubber gasketed from the rest of the engine

 

Something like this:

Picture by Brewer:

 

put it on the valve cover bolt that holds down the valve cover. its a better ground

would it effect any as far as preformance or driving with not grounded to anytihng?

 

In the pic that is posted above its in the wrong spot on the valve cover. it actually goes in the hole next to it. Im not sure if it matters though.

You might notice some slight dimming of the lights or the elctrical system but i dont think it will actually affect the performance of it. Dont take my word for it though. I drove around with out that ground for the longest and didnt notice a difference when I hooked it back up.

it doesnt reach my valve cover bolt so cant be hooked to that.

i dont no why it would be for my power steering it seems odd honda would still put it bolted to my car when it never had power steering installed

 

well that car most likely came with power steering someone must have taken it out, a ground disconnected would cause bad battery charging, weak spark, hard starting etc.. connect it to the block, or AC bracket

 

thanks i haev the orginal window sticker and its not listed but sitll could of been installed i dont i just connect it to the ac bracket

Alot of people strip the bolt that goes in that hole, so they just put the ground on one of the valvecover bolts.

 

i took mine off it just looked bad the car runs fine with out it

 

that is the one thing i always thought: honda must have had a brain fart-they put a ground on something that has a big gasket(rubber) on it. mine is attached to the valve cover(b16), but i think this ground is worthless.

Well the bolt doesnt stop at the rubber gasket. It goes into the head so it is a good ground point.

To the original poster that wire shouldnt have any trouble reaching the valve cover bolt in the pic, put it there and be done with it. While your there you should take off that valve cover strip and repaint....do it some justice.

thats how i bought the car with the cover already painted

 

This wire can be ground to any part on the head, as long as it is bolted to metal.

It is a common misconception, that thier is a "wrong place" for this.

I dont care if you take 13 ft of wire, wrap it around the motor four times, and then ground it to the back of the head, it will still make a fine ground......

I hope you get it

 

just ground to the block itself.
