Vette(s): Second-month production Shark, this 1968E was built up by original owner into 1969 ZR1 (L88 body with LT1 engine) for Club Racing. Body styling is from Maglioli's 1968 L88 "Le Mans" racer
Managed to get my headers assembled onto my SB without first attaching the ground cable to the block; no room now! Cable needs replacing anyway, any reason to think I couldn't run a longer ground cable to, for example, the steel safety bellhousing screws? Within a week or two I'm going to want to actually start the darned thing up, would like to eliminate surprises. Cheers from Down Under
1968E (2nd month production) convertible first registered California 1967 and a retired SCCA race car. It is still race prepped and built up as a '69 ZR1 (announced '69 but not built until '70); i.e., the L88 car with LT1 motor.

You can run the ground to just about anywhere on the block you want. The original ground cable goes from the frame, to the engine mount bolt on the passenger side. Anywhere on the block would work just as well, imo.

Adams' Apple said: You can run the ground to just about anywhere on the block you want. The original ground cable goes from the frame, to the engine mount bolt on the passenger side. Anywhere on the block would work just as well, imo.
Thanks for that. On the 68 the ground cable runs from the engine mount, to the screw that holds the starter motor brace to the block. I'll take your advice and look for another spot on the block itself. Cheers.
