1973 Convertible Project: Coupe Parts Swap Begins

[Steve McMahan]

In the coupe build I did, I ran a ground cable from the battery down through a hole in the floor with a grommet in the trunk to the frame to one of those two holes that are in it for the transportation brace. From there, I ran a ground cable along the fuel line path covered at strategic locations with 5/8 diameter Heater hose. And I ended up routing the ground strap through the hole in the driver’s firewall that was usually used for the fuel line. And it was really good and all the driving I did I never scuffed it or scratch anything else. So I’m gonna repeat that process on the vert. I’m doing all that because all my major wiring is on the drivers apron.

I’m sure running a ground cable the length of the car is overkill, but one thing I’ve learned is that you cannot have too many grounds.
