Posted August 25, 200915 yr comment_292794 Hi all, Hope you don't mind, but now that I am making progress, I will throw out a bunch of questions that are probably simple to answer (this one should be VERY simple). A Chevy V8 guy has a lot to learn about these little Z cars! :stupid: Anyway, can somebody tell me where this wire gets grounded to? I did not pay enough attention when I pulled the engine from the ZX... Thanks in advance!

August 26, 200915 yr comment_292927 Well since it's a ground wire you can connect it to any good ground on the body. I think I attached this to one of the screws on the coil bracket.

August 27, 200915 yr Author comment_293081 Thanks Enigma! That is what I figured, but I was unsure if it should go to the negative side of the coil for some reason... :paranoid:Tim Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/32951-zx-dizzy-ground-wire/#findComment-293081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 27, 200915 yr comment_293083 Mine never had that wire on it, seems odd to ground the distributor since it's bolted to the block, which should be grounded. I'd forget about that little one and put a big ground strap between the engine block and chassis. In fact I had one in the back off of one of the bell housing bolts and another closer to the front.
