Default Will this grounding be good enough?

Hey Guys,

I finally got my grounding all tied in and thought I'd share a few shots.

I made up a set of large and small ground straps and installed 2 at # 1 Mount, 2 at #3 Mount, 2 on the Rad Support, 1 on the block and 1 on the ignition shield. I still need to ground the antena, but that will come later.

The new battery cables are in as is the engine bay harness, so we're ready to start testing the system. As of now, I can ring my meter to ground from just about anywhere.

Dont forget your frame to engine block ground.

Thank you Stan.

Unfortunately, work is getting in the way of progress right now. I'm hoping to fire it soon and send it out for colour.
