What has to be grounded ?
Hey guys,how many grounds and where do i need them with a carbed engine. I have basic vintage Autometer guages,electric fan steady going,horn,just the basics. Do i tap or use self taping screws where possible. Some area on the frame are thick like for the neg.battery cable location and stuff like that.I know taping is a longer process so i ask for a general opinion. I want good grounds,thanks all!

I tapped everything. I have a tapping block that holds the tap straight so it did not take to long.
I ran 4 grounds from my engine to the frame. Individual grounds next to the gauges and a ground from my fuel sending unit to the frame. You can never have to many grounds on a fiberglass car. Hope this helps. Terry |
Grounds
Tranny to frame, engine to frame, altenator to frame, regulator to valve cover bolt or frame. And of course the grounds from the wiring harness. Maybe more?

ground wire
I install a #8 awg ground from the battery to a bus bar that I mount under the dash. I ground everything under the hood and dash to this ground bar.
Every time you ground to the frame be sure to grind off the paint and maybe use a conductive grease. Dwight and what Sal said Quote:
