I borrowed a friend's truck; when it gets hot it acts like a bad battery. It has an emergency post type cable connector (the kind with 2 small bolts clamping the bare cable end) which I had to clean up and double the cable back to get a good clamp. I went to the block and found the cable end clamped under the starter mounting bolt, the bolt being too long and having three lockwashers under the head to shim it out.
*%#&*^%!!
I found a boss on the block at the front of the engine under the smog pump bracket. It is threaded and will take a short 3/8-16 bolt, but it's a rather loose fit. I saw a 10mm bolt at the store but the head seems too big and may interfere with the smog pump bracket. What kind of bolt is the right one and is the hole under the smog pump bracket used to ground the negative cable to the block??
In other words, where is the negative battery cable grounded to the block and what kind of bolt is used?
Thanks.
