Does anybody know where the hell the starter is grounded to the body at. I can't find it in my chilton book. I got a '88 IROC 305 TPI.

 

i just got over this problem with my 84 mine had a black metal bracket that went from the starter and mounted to the passengers side of the block i couldnt get it to line up after a new starter so i just used and old battery cable and ran it from the post on the starter and grounded to a bolt on the frame works fine so far.

 

Hmmm.........I thinking thats theres a grounding problem there. Hopefully its just loose and i can tighten it, if not i'll have to adapt your system. Thanks black.

 

the starter is bolted to the ground, the block!

There should be a grounding strap from the passengerside head to the firewall, and the negative form the battery should be bolted to the block somewhere.

 

That's just a bracket to help hold the starter in place........... Not needed and often missing.

 

hmmmm well the starter worked without the ground strap but it just randomly stopped one day i used the old battery cable and havent had a problem since
