Are you referring to grounding the steering column to the body or the lead wire for the horn switch on the steering wheel?
I was only talking about grounding the steering column to the body.
On a 70 Challenger the column is held in by the support bracket. This support bracket is bolted to the column and to the dash frame. So if you don't use a ground wire from the column to the dash frame then you rely on the support bracket to provide a ground path for the column.
In this case you need good electrical connection between the column and support bracket AND between the support bracket and dash frame.
