Having redone my entire TR6 wiring using Dan Master's Power Block, I can
wholeheartedly agree with Steve. The three connections are essential to a
durable/reliable grounding system. The one for the fire wall is particularly
important. I sanded the firewall connection area clean on both sides, used
large washers, and used a large through-bolt to a single point ground with
multiple ground wires on the interior of the driver's side. I, in addition,
used dielectric grease to enhance electrical conductivity and prevent
oxidation.

Grant, in my opinion this would be a mistake. The grounding system on the 6
has
to be top notch. Make sure you ground on both spots designed for this. There
is
some debate on where the lower point should be. Some say it is the same hole
as
the rear hoisting eye while some use the bell housing hole. The point on the
firewall is obvious and a very important part of the system. Spend the money.
