When I was restoring my 68 2000, I rebuilt all wiring harnesses and added
grounds. A lot of roadster guys suggested adding some good grounds. I
ended up building a heavy duty (10 or 12 guage) from scratch. I ran it from
a starter bolt to the frame on the passenger side. From there I ran a
smaller guage to the body on the same side. Larry.
