(body) and at the engine block. This can be done at less cost than using a
factory style braided cable, but with a bit more work. You can connect a
'parts house' insulated negative battery cable from the battery to a clean
bolt hole at the bell housing. Then add a second reasonably heavy cable, like
a length of appliance wire that normally would carry 110V, from the engine
block (tapped hole at the back of the head) over to a clean spot on the
firewall. There should be tapped hole near the throttle linkage cross shaft
for this other end. If you make up this second wire/cable, use good, soldered
"eye" terminal connections at both ends of the wire.
