[W126 Coupe] don't use high mileage oils

[Shayegan, Richard]

Just curious, why does it need to be grounded? I accidentally did this
without grounding it (I had been working on the car and disconnected it
because I didn't want the car magically starting on me (I'm a scaredy
cat). I forgot that I had don't this when I went to start the
car...nothing bad happened, so is there a reason to ground it?
Thanks,
Richard

Richard:

You will find a ground post with a number of brown wires attached the
driver's fender well under the ignition coil on the 380.  Anywhere on
the
chassis is fine but, that is a known working ground.  There is another
ground (more difficult to access) to the side of the radiator next to
the
emissions can which is attached to the radiator frame.

Just make sure the alligator clip is in contact with the metal tower
clip
inside the rubber boot and the jumper wire is away from moving parts
(belts,
pulleys).
