The only two that I know are the battery ground (low on the front of the block) and a ground that attaches on the firewall right behind the passenger head.

If I remember correctly there are 3. One in front, as mentioned, and one on the back of each head.

I jut double checked and on my 3.1 there is a ground on both heads. I wonder if this is a 2.8/3.1 difference.

Not sure on that 1 b/c the 3.4 has 3 grounds also same as the 3.1, but when I pulled my 2.8 it only had 2. The one on the front and on the passenger side head on the rear.

Then the 2.8s must have only 2 grounds. I cannot see one at all behind the driver side head.

Re: 91 camaro, ground spots?

untrue.. there is a 3rd on the drivers side head.. most people likely cut it since it is hard to reach.


i cut mine by mistake when pulling the engine out of my car.. so i wll have to replace it.
