: PMD/FSD ground wire connects where?

I'm removing the FSD the previous owner had mounted on the intake, as you can see from the picture, there is a ground wire connected to the heatsink. With the Heath FSD, where do I connect that ground to since I'll be removing the old FSD? I know I can call them tomorrow, but I'd like to have this done tonight.

Thanks

This ground is coming from the top of the IP.
Put it back to the top of IP.
I bet you're relocating the FSD? Good idea.
Leave the ground on the top of the pump, you won't need this wire for the FSD, as this ground is connected to the driver via the harness anyways.

Well I definately need that ground connected or she doesn't run, but the little bolt that connects the ground to the previous FSD heatsink is too small for the hole on the IP. Also it looks like that hole on the IP isn't threaded, at least not the top part that I can see.

Does anyone know what size bolt goes in that hole on the IP, and maybe also some other grounding locations? Thanks

sure, you need it connected to ground. I mean, you don't need it connected to the heatsink itself, it has to stay on top of IP.

?!

and maybe also some other grounding locations? Thanks

There are 4 screws on the top of the IP, unscrew the easiest one and rebolt the ground wire there.
If one of these screws is missing, it should be good to replace it.
