Default Ground cable routing

Each time I do a portion of this engine conversion I'm amazed at the original engineering; what seems so simple when making repairs becomes a thought provoking process when redesigning the system. It took a long time to design and route the cables. I put a fuse on the ground side, right before the ground to body below the fuse. I then ran the cable to the engine bay to make a good ground for the starter.



From the interior, down through the body and along the rear wheel well.

Up into the engine bay
