Distributor rebuild help
I had a post previously about removing a faulty unilite unit and reinstalling points. I've got everything back to normal with new points, condenser, and lead wire. What I'm having problems with is figuring out where the new ground wire goes. It was missing from the unilite retrofit and all the pictures and fiiguures I've found on the internet are lame.
Can anyone show me a good photo or diagram where it goes?

Photo shown also has one of my advance limiters installed, but the ground wire installation is correct.

ok, points plate moves with vac advance, so ground thru greasy bushing kinda iffy. I am too used to boats.
