Thanks. I've really been trying to get this thing back together, but my job is a nightmare right now. I'm gonna try to finish the back of the truck this weekend. Wiring/plumbing and bolting the rear back in.

Looks like I sold the motor, so as soon as the truck gets back on the ground I'm gonna need to pull it out and get the new one underway.

Glad to hear you are gonna get something bigger to spin that F1 or 2. Should be impressive. By the way what all is done to your 80e to handle to power?

Been doing some work..............got a question

I'm in the process of reworking the engine harness and I've noticed that there are no less than 3 gounding wires. Two of these have several other ground wires spliced in the middle of the harness. One is spiced together for each side of the coil pack harnesses.

My question is when reworking the harness can I use one central ground for all of it? Or will that cause some strange problems?

I've always thought a ground is a ground. School me.

You should be ok going to a central ground, as I never liked the ground loop approach. My only concern is that noise maybe created by the gound for the injectors/coils and cause some issues with the 5Volt sensor side, but thats imo.

I wouldn't run with less then two. With all the sensors you want absolutely no resistance in the ground of any circuit. Many people add grounding kits to factory cars to make sure there are no issues. I know when I added 3 extra grounds to my probe years ago it helped big time.

I would say two fairly heavy ground wires would be enough since you won't be running any crazy stereo or anything else.
