Suzie,I am unsure of all the straps,I know that there is on ground point on the firewall.there is a ground strap in the starter area that bolts to the motor mount bolt.do a search on ground straps here on the forum you will find lots of info.Let me know if you get stumped on the carb.If your in marietta, I am not far from you, I am closer to acworth than dallas.So we are neighbors.When you go to put the kit in make sure you get a good carb cleaning solution,you will also need compressed air to blow the passages.

Hey, y'all,
Been awhile since I've posted on this topic - problem was sorta put on hold until after the holidays . . . . .
Well, after talking with some very knowledgeable car folks, decided that maybe rebuilding the carb was not something I wanted to tackle myself. Took it to a carb rebuild shop today and was shocked at what they charged to rebuild - I had no clue. However, for not a whole lot more, I bought a brand new Edelbrock carb (Merry belated Christmas to me!
). Installed it as soon as I got home, and OMG, it's like a totally different car. No hesitation, no stalling, no surging. Of course, it's just the first day and it IS an intermittant problem . . . . .
I'll keep you posted, but please keep your fingers crossed for me!!
