Agree with john on the back of the head to firewall, also from engine near the engine mount to the crossmember that engine mount sits on, and third is from body to frame and i think john is right again- lower part of firewall near bottom of fender to the frame.

They are also on each side of the engine and IIRC they attach to the A-Arms or something like that. I think there is also one down at the base of the passenger side fender somewhere. Been a while since I looked at those.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] ground straps and shims
I've heard it was a good thing to make sure the motor, firewall & frame were all grounded together ? or maybe it was the motor to the firewall to the fram? I bought a braided copper ground strap kit spicifficley for chevelles. can anyone tell me the proper places, where the straps should be. when I took out the small block, the only ground wires I seen were from the harness to the firewall. thanks for any help !

Locations depend on year. "66 V8 - head to fire wall passenger side using a separate screw just off the lower corner of the heater box. Body to Frame uses the positive cable clip bolt on the frame and then screws to the inner fender well. I bought the same 3 cable ground set and trying to determine with the assemble manual where the third one goes for correct location.
