[Healeys] Wiring Question

You are correct the black earth wires need to go to the bulkhead on a screw
hole nearby. There also need to be a black earth wire to the right-hand
terminal on the control box. This should be part of the loom but if not you
will need to make up a short black wire

In reply to your second point, your starter solenoid has Lucar (push on)
connectors so it is not an original. Lucars did not come into use until
100 productions ceased. To be authentic you will have to find a later
solenoid. As a compromise, you could make up a short fully *insulated*
adaptor cable with an eye and a short nut and bolt with a Lucar on the
other end Then you could go back to originality with an older starter
solenoid if you could find one. I believe that you can just remove the
Lucar on the main terminal (on the right)
