Interesting. My car's been grounded incorrectly since it left the factory. 
Mine goes battery, firewall and then to the rear engine plate (at the 
10:30-ish location).

I'll have to fix that.

:-)

Seriously, this is one of those little details that can cause fits for the 
concours folks. Look in the literature for a picture to show which is 
correct. Any underhood shots should give a hint at the proper method.

I'm not kidding that my car from new goes battery, bulkhead - rear engine 
plate.
