if you know its a ground comin out of the box..just go down to homedepot or lows..go to the electrical section and ask where the (Buss Works) are for electrical panels...and get a ground block made of aluminum..its $5 to $8 bucks....ground your battery to this block by drilling a big enough hole to bolt it up...then...mount that to your car some where next to your battery...after that..run all grounds to that block from your motor and harnesses...then you have compleated a grounding kit ..normally you would pay from $45 to 199 for the kit pre made..but you just made one for 5 to 8 bucks!..have a beer..feel proud of your self.

IT doesn't matter it's a ground just scrape the paint to the rail and bolt it to it and be done with it. It's really not htat complex. But if you want to know how it is stock it goes from the battery to the chassis and from chassis to intake manifold. Theres also a ground strap going from the head to the firewall.

you can basicly mount your negative battery cable to any part of the frame anywhere..it works like the negative end or a battery anyways in your electrical system..just make shure your grounding to a clean paint free area..you want good contacts..hence my recomendation for the grounding bar..if you cant figure it out from here bro..you need to take it to a pro and have it done.
