If you're talking battery ground, I have it going from the battery to a large bolt on the front of the block. Then I have one on the passenger side of the motor going down to the motor mount frame bolt. I also have one from the drivers side of the motor going to the body on the drivers side of the firewall.

How about battery connections? How many and where?

I know this is basic stuff, but it never hurts to double check...

Positive goes to starter and distribution block mounted on side of radiator mount.

Negative goes to frame.
