That would eliminate any question about power flow/ground, etc. You could pick up power at the starter battery cable connection, and run a ground to the battery ground strap. I do have a short cable (a 12 volt battery cable with eyelets on both ends) that I run from where my battery ground strap attaches to the frame, over to a bolt on the transmission to get a better ground. When I did this, I got a noticeable increase in cranking speed.
Art, wouldn't that mean power is connected to the module all of the time? Pertronix say you shouldn't leave the key on for more than 30 seconds without the motor running.
From your post, I think you have assumed I am 6 volt +ve earth. It is 12v, - ve earth.
