Aluminum intake "Ground"

[FORD*DIEHARD]

Might be a dumb question, but I am replacing my stock 2v intake manifold . It had a ground on the front left bolt (just above the water neck), I am installing the Edlebrock aluminum intake manifold (#2121), will this position still work with an aluminum intake manifold or will I or should I relocate this ground?

Thank you in advance for your time/help,

Sonny

That looks like your main ground from the Battery? If it is I would route it directly to the engine block (clean bare metal) so the starter motor will have the best ground possible. Additional gounds are always a good idea, in multiple places.

Not the greatest as that eyelet is rather soft and you can't get a good torque on that bolt. It will creep over time and loose torque and the eyelet squishes.

best point is passenger side of block at front end, should be a place to put a bolt and the ground.
