It attaches to a studded head bolt, pretty sure it’s the second one from the front of the head.

Also, to make sure you have a good ground. Make sure there is a good cable from the engine to the frame & engine to body. So many times I have been chasing electrical gremlins on vehicles. I first use a set of jumper cables to tie everything together, engine, chassis & body, gremlins go away! Need good grounds!

So lets assume that the stock ground stud is long gone to ARP type fasteners. What would be a good plan B?

If you have an unused 3/8-16 threaded hole on the front of the head that would be a great place to attach the ground cable. Be sure to scrape or sand off any paint at the grounding point.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
