Talking fusible link conversion

i was just looking at this set up for my se and when i was pulling off the fuse set up on the 2nd gen i notice i guess it would be a 2nd ground closest to the shock tower and wondering if i have to hook that up too. Plus what does btn mean on the fuse holder

Doesn't really matter what btn means, and I haven't found it in the FSM, use the circuits as you need them and re-label.

There is a body ground that bolts to the drivers shock tower that is part of the ground cable going to the engine.

There are no grounds on the fuse block. They are power only, there is a main power in and out, that will replace the main link in the 1st gen harness.

I'm not following you on the 2 grounds, post a pic.

If you ground that block, kiss it good bye and alot of electircal equipment. There is power in, the big screw in the middle and just power out.
