Negative battery cable to head question

[aasltmike]

Having some intermittent issues with starting and gonna do the purple wire fix, and want to relocate the ground strap on the passenger side from the back of the head to the front of the head. I remember someone on the boards saying there is a bolt hole behind the A/C compressor. Are the bolt holes in the same location on both ends of the head? Used the search feature and couldn't find anything that would help.

Yes, the heads are symmetrical. In reality that ground can go almost anywhere on the block that it will reach. Just make sure there is a clean connection, no paint etc. And because of the turbo, DP, etc, make sure it is protected from heat.

Thanks, Don. Appreciate it. Just hoping once I get the fender well off that I can maneuver enough behind the compressor without taking it off to mount the cable there. Will just make things easier. :tup:
