Re: Dash Board grounding points

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

One of the most important grounding points for the electrical system 
(and the one that will affect the gauges) is located on the frame in 
the front. Jack up the car, pull off the front left wheel and you will 
see it directly inside on top of the frame behind the horn. Remove all 
of the wires and clean everything including the point on the frame 
where they are attached and the bolt. Twitching of the gauges could 
also be caused by any loose or intermittant connection in the wiring 
system feeding the gauges. Check the terminals on the battery, the 
tension on the alternater belt and all of the "big" connections from 
the battery to the starter and the alternater. If this doesn't do it 
you may have to tear out the binnacle and find the loose plug or 
connection causing the problem. The "twitching" could be a sign of 
larger problems in your electrical system.
