Been trying the search function for an hour looking for the grounding points in a VX supercharged engine bay. Installed a DIY grounding kit in the engine bay. Looking for the best locations of grounding points. Can anyone help?

im not sure on your answer, altho id like to know what does the grounding kit meant to gain?

helps keep the volts from the battery at a maximum and if u got an audio system in the car it can also help or get rid of the dimming headlight issue with the bass.

There is also an earth point on the right side engine mount and another one not found on all VTs(don't know why) at the back of the engine attached to the firewall. Putting an earth point on the alternator body is recommended by some sparkies. My GM workshop shows about 6 earth points but I cannot copy and paste the diagram and my printer is on the fritz just now. Just by the way, I think there is another one near the starter motor.

I know it's a long shot getting a reply after so long but would incorrect grounding cause my engine to idle rough and stall when I push the throttle? It stays running if I feather it but does if I just push it straight in
