ok went back down and looked there is no bolt hole at all on the front of the driver head no plates so that wont work either didnt think alum would make a good ground??? intake,water pump and heads are alum.

This is the only way you want to do aluminum headed engine with a nasty ignition....Each head must be grounded....Otherwise the coil wire will arc to the head or anything close to it.

Run ground to front and attach it to bell housing or block and to each head and intake and frame. if battery is in trunk never ground to frame in back and front too. From hours of chasing down problems this is what worked for me.

static loop. and also any part that shifts with heat and expansion should have a groung by itself. using a frame by itself for ground is never a good idea. I dont want to get into pee pee match but this is coming from some of the fastest in the business that have experienced the problem that high output ignitions can provide through bad grounds.

ok guys the only reason i asked is cause MY heads do not have a lug or bolt hole to mount a battery cable to i was always under the impression that alum dont make as good of ground as steel i had to ground it on the power steer bracket wich does not look clean to me and i want to (and will) find a differnt spot to ground it as far as running a wire to each head??? does it not have 17bolts doing just that?? (alum head iron block)

to the head can also include using an intake or exhaust bolt.
