Default 70 BB shielded spark plug wire ?

I installed my shielded spark plug wires last night. I have a 70 BB with the box-type distributor cover. It is not clear to me where the sheild gets grounded on the drivers-side/distributor-end wires. The assembly manual is unclear; do they get grounded on the coil?
Please help & thanks in advance.

There should be a support bracket with a 4 hole grommet for the plug wires... on top of that, there should be a post for attaching the terminals/lugs.

Thanks Tom454,
I see the "post" on the passenger side bracket, but there isn't one on the drivers side bracket. Am I missing something?

If you have the plug wire bracket, and no post.... then it's the wrong bracket, or the post is snapped off.
