Gumby, sorry, no pics but I'll describe em for you!
1 jumps from the lower front edge of the right (passenger side) wheel well about 3 inches up from the bottom edge where it curves away from the frame and connects to the top of the frame. it's a small #8 hex screw that self taps into the wheel well. There's a ground strap that mounts from the back of the right side head and self taps into the firewall back there. That's it for the body to frame grounds. If yours were never there for some reason, you'll see a dimple in the wheel well and firewall where the self drilling screws go. I usually add one from the negative battery post to one of the fender to rad support bolts as well, you can never have enough grounds! |

Grumby: Here's a link that Mike posted some good pictures on of actual vehicle grounding straps. On your car, there should be 3 from the factory, and it certainly doesn't hurt to add a couple to the dash/firewall and 1 additional to the firewall/engine.
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...ighlight=strap A LOT of electrical problems with these cars can be traced to poor grounds. PS: Searching the archives with a keyword specific to your problem can sometimes yield good results, and much faster than posting a new thread (ask me how I know.)
