Not quite sure what you mean here.. the battery is the ground.. then it goes to the master switch then goes
forward to the solenoid(ford style) then it splits to all the electric items.. the solenoid has a
starter post which I use
EDIT
I was giving you the major points.. yes I ground the engine.. both of my cars are tube chassis
cars so I tend to use the tubing for a lot of the grounds.. I also run a ground on the motor
plate and one at the back of the car.. these couple of points are large cable(usually a 0 size
and the same up front at the engine plate) then the smaller stuff going to each electrical component
I have never has any issue with the electrical on the car and it cranks great.. I have only used
a single battery since day one
