I don't even think I have a ground strap on the engine block to the firewall. Around where would it be located? And why would that not affect the temp guage if they're all on the same circuit? (at least at the fuse level)Sp it's a posibility that I have a bad groung and a short somewhere? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Here's a pic of the OEM engine-to-firewall ground strap on my '72 Formula. The strap I'm speaking of is the braided copper one, and the other end attaches to one of the unused bolt holes at the rear of the passenger side cylinder head. I'd lay money that the '73 Firebird would be exactly the same.

Hope this helps.
