Default 1973 C3 Ground locations

Hi everyone.....I am in the down hill side of the body off restoration of my 1973 454 Stingray...... I am having a ground problem with the lights ...With the headlight on either in parking lights or head lights . The turn signals light up and the blinkers and flashes stop working.....I know it is a ground issue . The cluster for the tach and speedo are grounded fine ....Does anyone have a diagram of the ground point locations for a 73 ish car ...... I have searched the vast waste land that is the internet and no luck ..... Thanks.... Craig

Hi Craig,
In 71 the ground for the forward lighting harness comes out of the harness soon after it passes through the core-support. The screw hole in the support is right next to the opening for the radiator and about half way up the support.
Maybe in 73 too?
Regards,
Alan

Just above the middle core-support to apron bolt.
