One Piece At A Time
I am in the process of replacing my electrical ground straps. When I was removing the ground strap that goes from the firewall (just under the heater hoses) to the back of the passenger side cylinder head, I dropped the bolt holding the ground strap to the engine. Unfortunately, it did not fall on the ground, but got lost somewhere behind the engine. I tried fishing around with my fingers and a magnetic pick up tool, but coudn't find it, no less than retrieve it. At this point, I am resigned to just getting another bolt, but I have no idea the bolt diameter/length/thread pitch. All I remember is that the bolt head was 14 mm.
I went to the hardware store and got an M12 bolt, but it felt too big. I tried a body/fender bolt, but it felt too small. It's a very tight area and I can't put eyes on it; have to go by feel only. Even with the distributor cap off (to replace the ICM), it's very hard to get your hand back there because you are fighting wire harnesses.
Can anybody tell me what the correct specs are for this bolt?
Thanks,
Ken
