    Battery Grounds to Where???

    Sorry folks, I have no haynes manual, and I did search here with no luck.

    Simple question (hopefully):

    WHERE DOES THE BATTERY GROUND TO? (any pics?)

    My car was stolen and then recovered stripped (everything but the core). I've got it all put back together, but when I installed a new battery I realized there was no ground cable. So I went to the junkyard and got a ground cable off a 3rd gen accord. The 3rd gen's ground went from battery to chassis, then branched off to the starter.

    I had no idea where the orignal ground was on my cb7, so I just found a bolt under the battery tray area and gounded it there (to the chasis). The remaining branched chord is just hangin, since I have no idea if it should ground to anything else.

    Car runs and starts up fine. I'm just wondering if one ground straight to the chasis is enough? I found some mention from other posts that there's also a ground to the engine block and a ground to the tranny and starter??? Do I really need these, and if so, any pics of where they are?

    Thanks a mil!

      The this ground goes to the left of the battery, on the edge of the fender, it like clips in kinda and then a bolt holds it down. From there it goes to the starter, right near where the pos one bolts on.

        Ground from Engine Block to where?

        Is there also suppossed to be a ground running from the engine block (on the valve cover) to the chassis or battery?

        Btw, when I had the one ground from battery to chassis, the car ran fine. But when I fixed it so the main ground also goes to the bolt on the tranny/starter, the car runs noticeably BETTER!

        But it still seems to stumble at 4000 RPM, and the tach goes all over the place on hard acceleration (but not on easy acceleration for some reason). It was doing that before, and even though I replaced the ignitor, it's still being a wacky tach.)

          a ground goes from a notch on the right of the valve cover and connects to something in the right of the engine bay, it's a short thin wire, it doesn't go too far. I just can't remember where it connects.
