39 Deluxe ground?
Is the ground from the battery a strap or cable and what should it be grounded to? Thanks in advance!

You should put another cable from the ground on the firewall to the engine. G.M.

Re: 39 Deluxe ground?
To enhance engine starting, I choose to use a cable to ground to the starter motor body, that also being the engine block, and from the engine block to both the firewall and frame. In addition, I run one #8 ground wire to the areas where lights are located at front and rear of the car. Obviously none of this is "stock" but it improves and maintains the performance of the electrical system.

Re: 39 Deluxe ground?
never use an exhaust manifold bolt for a ground, the heat will cause to much resistance and wont provide a good ground
