Engine to frame ground. Nick's Trix , of Nick's Trix, once pointed out that there is an unused threaded bolt hole on small block Ford engines that can be used for a ground strap connection. This threaded bolt hole is located in an ear at the front right side of the engine below the number one spark plug. Just need to drill a hole in the frame. Run a tapping bolt in the fame hole for threads, then I switch out to a regular bolt. Then a one foot grounding strap.
By the way, I have a fiberglass body, so return grounding wires are sometimes a must.
Hope this helps.
Thanks to Nick at Nick's Trix.

I didn't dissect anything. I quoted only what I was responding to, like always.

I described something & included a linked pic. Then you described the same thing in text again. So for anyone trying to understand what you meant, I referred back to that pic. Take it FWIW.

What part of my post can anyone not understand? My point was an actual installation of a ground strap and how to do it. "So for anyone trying to understand what you meant." So Steve. I don't see anything in the picture or you, explaining the point of what I meant.
This is all about getting information to a lot of novices. So please don't leave out the 'point' (information). Have a nice day.;)
