o_rod Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Ready to put the dash back in and I cannot remember where these 2 ground loops go? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealRed70 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 One goes to the steel dash frame just to the left of the steering column if looking from the front of the dash. The other goes to the lower mounting screw on the left side of the wiper switch. You may have screwed the small bolt back into the hole in the steel dash frame after removing that ground. Look for that hole or a small bolt/ screw. You can see where it is mounted in my picture. You can not see the wiper switch in my picture, but you will be ble to figure it out. Do you have a 1970? This is a 1972 dash with idiot lights, but will be the same for a full gauge dash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o_rod Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hmm... I have a bracket that goes from the light knob frame and grounds to the dash frame... Where on the dash does this one go? I suppose ithat doesn't matter which one goes where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o_rod Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Digital voltage meter. Other gauges are going in a custom cluster on the center console. I ran out of room for gauges so moved it there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealRed70 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 What year are you working on? Would that be a 1970? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_rod Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yes it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 This ground strap thing from someplace on or near the headlight switch on my 71, goes someplace, I forgot where..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_rod Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Thanks. So that bracket from the light switch is attached to the dash frame in the same spot as the other picture posted. The 2 ground loops from the harness is where I'm confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealRed70 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Attach the circle at the top to the headlight switch. Then attach it to the two screws on the wiper switch. Then the bracket will fall into place where it needs to be mounted. One of the black ground wires goes to the same screw that mounts that bracket to the steel frame. The other should go to the emergency brake assembly. Please post a picture of the back of your dash. The more pictures I can see the easier it is for me to help you. 70,71 and 72 did the grounds all a little different. Private message me your phone number and I can text you more pictures, if you text. In 1972 they did not use that style of headlight switch/ wiper switch ground.
