Engine grounds is there an order ??

So just a quick question I have an 86 TPI and the engine grounds are 6 in total 3 on each side ? Also there is one griund that has teeth to bite into when it's screwed down, so my question is should I put this one ground (with the teeth) in between the other 2 ? Or should I start with that 1 ? Or does it matter ?

Mechanically the one with the teeth should go first to bite into the metal. Bit electrically it doesn't matter.... ground is ground.

The "teeth" go against the body...

Thank for the advice I did the teeth engine side and boom everything seems to be working fine ! Minus the fuel pump.

Next question which pin on the bulkhead(C100) is for the fuel pump, im trying to trace it out because i only have 8.5 volts going to it, so I'm checking all the wiring. i have an 86 iroc if I didn't mention that before
