[QUOTE="P49Y-CY, post: 16939929, member: 10216"] the first time i pulled the engine out of this car i noticed that particular ground strap was deteriorated and had almost broken in two. it might have been from when i removed it from the frame, but still it was in pretty bad shape. the rubber coating it has from the factory probably traps moisture, etc. also it's not available from ford, my parts guy said he didn't see a separate number for it at all, and said that it was probably part of the original harness number, even though now they don't include it. fortunately just about every parts store in the country carries an almost identical braided ground strap from dorman/help! (without the rubber coating) [/QUOTE]
