no...a ground is still a ground..... splicing grounds together wont do anything other than make a problem harder to trace..... tying positives together, however, isnt wise.....good luck on the new project
 






I know what im doing tomorrow :D
 






actually i kind of feel like doing it right now... hmm could i do it in time to do my thursday ritual... itll be risky
 






Almost always that is true, a ground is a ground, except when you are dealing with Ford. :)

It seems that your speed sensor is grounded all the way over by your EEC computer alonog with the A/C anf the computer ground itself. Why did ford do this? Who knows.

When it comes to stereo grounds you want to be careful as well to avoid getting noise. Always keep ground wires as short as possible and make sure you have a good clean bare metal connection.

You will avoid potential problems by running separate ground wires, you may definately ise the same ground point.

Good luck.....
