5 point ground kit

OK, i'll put this as simply as possible. I have a 5 point hyper ground kit from my old subaru and would like to put it in my SVX. I didn't put it in, and don't know anything about cars really. I need help. Could someone please either post up, or PM me a pic of the engine with where i would find the following parts (where i have read is where I am supposed to attach the cables): I need to find the distributor and the cylinder head. I also need to know where would be the best part on the firewall and car body to attach those cables.
Overall, I have read that i should put the cables on the car body, firewall, distributor, cylinder head, and alternator. I should be able to attach the cables, but if anyone near Greeley, CO would like to help, I'm sure i could use the help as well.

Thanks,
Mike

Plenty of places to run grounds. Follow the post above's directions for grounds and look at adding additional ones from the bolts on the intake manifold to the frame rails on either side of the engine.

Still a little confusing

Thanks guys,

I still don't see the cylinder head or distributor. Also, what are the frame rails. and which bolts from the intake manifold are the best to use?

In all honesty, don't worry about it. Drape it anywhere it looks good. It has no other purpose.

there is no distributor....the engine is a flat 6 design, thus the cylinder heads are on the extreme right and left sides of the engine...the intake manifold feeds into the injector stacks which bolt to the intake ports in the cylinder heads

Really not a good idea to attempt attaching it to the heads so don't worry about that one either.

...also would not recommend you loosen the intake manifold bolts without a torque wrench to retighten them properly
