Wiring and strut bar help
I would like info on where to put grounds to reground the ecu, engine, battery, and chassis. I have plenty of 8 guage ground wire to do as much as possible (35ft). Also, what about rewiring the fuel pump? The car sat most of its life so I would like to do this stuff just to be sure. Also, I have an OBX strut bar (which I may sell if I change color, the one I wanted was backordered) but it rubs on the hood in 2 spots, any idea what to do to fix that?

I added earths from the manifold to the firewall, the bell housing to the firewall, the pressure sensor earth wire to the thermostat housing, the ECU (see below) and the battery negative to the chassis. Here's the links you need.
Adding earths to the ECU
Rewiring the fuel pump
If the strut bar just rubs on the underhood insulation, don't worry about it. If it rubs on the metal, may just "massage" the hood with a hammer...

Just ordered Trust front strut barn from ebay. Where on the hood does it rub? I do not want to do the "If it rubs on the metal, may just "massage" the hood with a hammer"... fix!

Just been looking again ,the Alt. is nearly on the end
of its belt tension slide, (had trouble matching two
belts to length when I changed the pulley)
Im sure with shorter belts the alt. will come down
enough so as to readjust the strutbrace down a bit!
