Grounding Sanden 508

[FordFarmer]

Vintage air wiring diagram says the compressor needs a chassis ground but I don't really see a dedicated grounding location. Do I just pick a bolt that doesn't penetrate the case? There's one spot (pictured below) but I figured that just a retainer to keep the power lead out of the clutch/pulley. Anyone have a good spot that worked for them?

if your engine is grounded you should be fine as long as you can get some contact through your mounting brackets to the block. I would say unless your brackets have a thick powder coat on them that could prohibit conductivity, carry on. if they do you,might need a jumper. I've never had an issue just bolting a 508 up.

Thank you sir

I bought a swing set for the kids once. The instructions said it needed weekly lubrication and inspection. It's just CYA for the manufacturer. Four 3/8" blots torqued down should be enough.

Pretty sure you can be thrown in jail these days for such negligence

Yeah definitely don't let child protective services hear you say your not greasing it you'll never get out of jail or see the kids again

Be absolutely sure you are using the manufacturer's recommended lubricant. "Any grease containing excessive lubricity will potentially cause accelerated swing motion which could have a negative effect on the weight/gravity ratio of any, and all, persons using this playground equipment."
That being said, I've always seen a/c compressors with a short ground wire attached to one of the compressor mounting bolts. Be sure you have block/chassis/body ground straps.

Ah Hell just teach the kid to Spit on the henges as the old kid swings by. I see no danger in that.
