ground straps on valve cover
Well, I took the valve cover off the other night to replace the gasket, got the gasket today, srarted installing everything, and now I can't remember where the ground straps go. I think one went between no. 5 & 6 spark plugs, but can't remember for sure, and definitely don't remember where the other one goes. Does it matter that much?

Bill,
You'll need to tell us what kind of car you have. Steve

Doesn't really matter on exact location as long as you have good contact... the whole engine block is a good solid ground. I would put it where it seems to fit best and is out of the way, for that's probably the right location.
