Red face can you relocate the ground wires on clutch bellhousing?

i see a perfect spot on the intake manifold for relocation. it is such a PITA trying to put those suckers back into that hole you can't even see under that cluster of factory wires/hoses!

yeah it is a bad spot- i pull the hose for the heater when i need to get back there- then its easy. Not sure i would put it on the intake but im sure there are plenty of other spots it could go.

you can put it anywhere on the engine, mine is on the rearmost intake bolt since the threads for the original location were stripped by the po

Replacing the bolts with studs helps.

While you are at it, buy a nice heavy braided ground wire to go from the engine to the firewall. I did this and it cured a bunch of weird electical issues such as flickering lights, odd gauge readings, etc.
