[Mgs] Related to No Start Condition....

[Matt Trebelhorn]

The original ground strap on my '70 was located at one of the front  
motor mounts.  I added a ground strap that goes from the body side of  
the right front motor mount to the upper bolt holding the starter in  
place.  I know for sure that the starter motor is grounded!

Fixing the grounds is always a good idea, and you can't over-ground  
anything, that's for sure.

Good luck tracking it down
Matt
