there's a wire coming off the wiring harnes w/ a little circular end that i'm assuming bolts to something, however, i'm not sure what. The wire is orange and the end is about 1/4 circle like the one on the grounding strap from the firewall to left head. Any ideas where this thing bolts to?

if its the wire that i think you are talking about, mine connected(bolted) to the back of the block. i believe its just a ground wire. this wire comes out from a wireing harness from behind the intake, correct?

thanks, you're prob right since i remember feeling a bolt hole back there...now I just gotta find a bolt lol...anyone know what size that bolt might be? I guess I can pull out the grounding strap bolt and check it...what happens if i don't bolt this strap down...will the injectors not work?
