    I took the wiring harness off my 81 xj550 and I can't remember where one of the grounds on the back of the motor connects to. I know one goes to the battery. Can anyone help??

    Engine bolt 32 is the original mounting bolt. Quite frankly any of the case bolts can be used as long as it's a clean access point of engine case metal to ground metal.
