    Posted: Jul/05/2022 at 9:41am
After two years of work, I finally got my newly painted AMX out for a road test last week with it's newly rebuild 360.  Everything seems to be going well, but...

I seem to have some electrical issues.  Signal goes off when brakes are applied and brake light won't illuminate; stuff like that.  I noticed the ground strap is missing.  I see where a 10" cable runs from the motor mount bolt, but when does it mount to on the chassis?

Thanks for your help.

Should attach to the engine cradle near the welded mount bracket

Thanks very much for that. I now see a hole on top of the cross member bracket where you are referring to. 
Don’t know where my original cable is as I removed it about 25 years ago. I’ll make one from an old battery cable that should work fine. 
Thanks again!
