[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-Aug-02 AT 02:46 PM (EST)]It's on the passenger side below the altenator...at least on my '79 it is.

Fairly simple question- engine ground location

Considering nearly the whole engine, and it's systems, are made of conductive metal, it probably won't matter. I've got a ground going from the air plenum to the firewall, then one lead from the battery goes to somewhere else on the firewall (and that's the stock way). I've got another stock primary negative lead to somewhere down on the passenger's side, and I added a primary lead to the driver's side of the head. With the addition of that last primary, my starter cranks a lot better now.
