Default Birdcage Grounds

'nother newbie question re: '67 coupe i'm trying to chase down as many ground points as i can
and clean any corrosion. other than the strap at the front of the LH rocker (AIM,U69,A3) are there
any other places where the birdcage is electrically bonded to the chassis?
also, my copy of the AIM is about 1/3 illegible, especially the electrical section. is it possible to
find one a little easier to read?

the ground strap locations are under RPO U69 AM/FM radio option. the GM service manual has the same electrical diagram's.

did a little research over at the ncrs tech forum and the consensus seems to be that if a radio is not optioned there are no grounds between the chassis and the bird cage and none are needed. and even with a radio the only direct connection between the chassis and cage is the one at the front of the rocker and surely it couldn't have lasted long given how it was done.
