63 Engine Mount Ground Strap Question

[Marco H.]

Hello,
The '63/'64 JG calls for the motor mount ground strap (U69) to be installed on the RH side. (It even shows a picture from the AIM.) The '65 JG calls for the LH side, however the '65 AIM shows it on the RH side. Same for '66. The only AIM showing the strap on the LH side is the '67.
On '65-'67 I'm used to see the strap on the LH side. However have hardly any experience with '63-'64. (Currently the car has one on each side, which elliminates checking the holes for threads.) Checked the archives with little luck only.
Any clarification is greatly appreciated.

FWIW, my late 63 has ground straps on both sides too.

Hmmmm....
Sounds like in my case having both ground straps in place is just the right thing to do. My car is a May production. Thanks everyone for their input.
