Problem with frame ground is that a lot of the body wiring is body grounded. There are circuits grounded to the body all over. I'm not aware of any ground straps bonding the body to the frame, and they are more or less insulated from each other at the body mounts. Would love to hear if there is better information regarding this though.did you do frame ground or just body? I did both b/c I had extra wire but would do Frame if I only had one choice.

So I take the muscle car approach knowing that those do a ton of grounds vs relying on old ass frame to body ground straps. My big 3 was for my big stereo so I wasn’t interested in chancing a body
That air output hose gets really hot. And the PS reservoir is not cheap either.Wired up a viair 350c to owl expedition compressor mount. The mount is top notch. Had to drill 2 holes in the compressors mounting bracket to get it to fit the spacing. I'd like to get the switch mounted cleaner but this should do for now.

Did the first real work on my new to me rig. List included:
- Replaced Heater Tees, 6x hoses and 12x clamps with OEM. Found a bonus piece sitting in one of the firewall pipes which must have been from a previous tee replacement. Found an interesting way to work in the engine bay
- Replaced radiator hoses. Found the thermostat housing and bypass nipples pretty corroded. Used some high tack gasket sealant with the new gates hoses and so far it’s holding. Fingers crossed it lasts.
- Flushed coolant loop 4x times.
- Replaced intake air filter.
- Repaired a few inside trim pieces that were missing screws or just not installed correctly.
- Was going to replace the PCV and gasket, but found it’s tubing and the vacuum tubing fully cracked so I decided to hold on that until I get hoses on hand. (Pics below)
- Took an inventory of power steering leak and steering rack that needs replacement so I can get parts ordered. Any tips on part numbers or tools that make the job easier would be appreciated. Looking to go OEM new and I will install.

Camry reservoir is a bit cheaper, but mostly FAR more available in junkyards. (and is the same) Power steering reservoir interchangeThat air output hose gets really hot. And the PS reservoir is not cheap either.

Good call:saw a thread on here where a person relocated their power steering reservoir to in front of the air intake box. might be something to look into.
Did the Big Three. And added a slee terminal + extension. Negative terminal will have to wait until I get a crimper.

Sheard a bolt at engine block in front of fire wall, is where I bolted ok?
Also had to shave the bolt at the + terminal to get it to seat correctly.
The fuse link box is a little canted do you think that's a problem?
Got cables from @TheForger great quality.
