This is what the antenna ground strap looks like. It attaches to the front side of the left rear body mount bracket. The engine ground straps are short, braided copper straps that attach to the motor mount mounting bolt (at the engine block) and then to the front side of the frame mounting bracket. There is another ground strap that goes from the #1 body mount bracket (in front of the driver) to the bird cage. And lastly there is a longer braided ground strap the goes from the accellerator arm to the intake manifold. That's all I have on my side pipe car. I am not sure if there are additional straps with under car exhaust.

How about this one.The strap goes from the bracket to a bolt with a star washer on the frame. The star washer goes first, then the strap and bolt.

Here's the antenna ground strap mount to frame on my 65. Note that the star washer is incorrect here. Should be between the strap and the frame.
