Ground Pods on a 1971

Post by georgeramos »

Does anyone have a photo of the ground pods on a 1971 (or similar early car)? I've seen photos of round pods with a bunch of spade connections on the insides of the fenders but I cant seem to find that on my car...

Thanks

On the early Spiders they were often bolted to the car. For example under one of the bolts holding the voltage regulator.

There are no "ground pods" on the early cars. I think 79 was the first year they used them. Everything that needed grounded just went to the closest screw or bolt.
