My only question is - isn't that bracket it shows it being grounded to an aluminum bracket? If so - how would that work?/ It needs to be grounded to metal. So I'm thinking I will be better off grounding it to the engine block or the oil pan or something....

and thanx for all the reply's guys - you have been a great help!!
The bracket is not aluminum (anyway, aluminum is metal, you know). It is the stamped sheet metal bracket for the spark plug looms and it is the factory location for that ground. Grounding it there is exactly what you want to do. The stud that the bracket is attached to goes into the engine block (if you are worried, it is cast iron).

He posted the picture AFTER I posted a link. He edited his reply. I could make you look stupid too by deleting my reply right now then asking you wtf you are talking about. In fact wtf are you talking about?

You seem to enjoy arguing with people, particularly after you've made one of your tech errors. The exploding fuel tanks was a real gem.... but no need to go into that one here.

If you have a further problem, we can continue this discussion in a PM.

You seem to enjoy not reading posts and then replying to pick up an argument. I never said exploding fuel tank, I said don't break a system that handles explosive vapors, either remove it or fix it but don't break it and then leave it as is. You replied to a post and specifically selected it to pick up an argument. The reply I made was before he posted a picture and based on the description he had up it sounded to both me and the guy who replied right after my post that he was describing the battery ground on the passenger side motor mount. he wasn't he edited his post and changed it. Giving people a hard time for replying to a post that someone later edited is a prickish thing to do.

If you'd care to discuss it OUTSIDE the thread, feel free to do so. I have no intention of boring people with your issues.

"prickish"...... we'll have to add that to the language filter

I'd say he's talking about your post that he quoted.
