Default How many body ground straps are there for '66 Coupe?

Ok guys, how many ground straps are there suppose to be for a coupe? And where are they all located? I was cleaning my inner and outer splash shields and found a ground strap located on one of the outer shields so, I wondered how many ground straps are suppose to be on my car. Please let me know. Thanks.

Depends on whether or not it's an undercar exhaust system or a side pipe car:

1. accelerator lever GS
2. Body to Frame GS (at #3 body mt?)
3. Engine mount to frame GS
4. Antenna GS
5. Exhaust at center hanger GS (2) - on undercar exhaust system cars only

than the 2 ground straps for the exhaust at the center hangers won't be there because you wouldn't have the hangers. The other 4 straps should be there.
