        • EFF. There is a very small single wire with a ring terminal at the end back there somewhere and I'm not sure where it goes.

          On the trans where the battery grounds.... does it go there?

          • Battery ground is a fairly big wire. It runs to the body, too.

            Starter has a large gauge wire with a ring and a smaller wire with a connector for the solenoid.

            I can't remember a small wire with a ring.

              Yes, all of those are connected. The tiny wire with ring comes out of the harness right with the spade wire with the starter

                    • well, on mine i see a black wire with a ring terminal coming out of the starter harness. It's attached near the clutch cable bracket with a 10 mm bolt. It looks like it goes right where the main ground goes to the transmission.

                      • Received the Felpro valve stem seals in the mail. Now just waiting on the valve cover gasket.

                        I guess the intake and exhaust seals are the same? Since they are just thrown in bag, and there is nothing to differentiate any of them.

                        God I hope this gets done right, I also hope it is just the seals, and not the guides as well.

                        • Well considering the engine only has around 140k miles on it, I don't think the valve guides would be too worn, especially on these engines.
