Can anyone tell where you need to hook the two ground straps on a 46 chevy pu I know on goes from engine to frame and the other from battery to frame but exactly where?

I believe the logic now is to hook the battery to a convenient mounting bolt on the bell housing as the highest current drawn will be by the starter. Then go with straps from there to the frame and also to the body. If your looking for bone stock orginial then disregard.

On my '40, the ground strap from the battery goes to a bolt on the side of the tailshaft housing. I'm missing the engine-to-frame strap...where is yours located? I will be adding one. Thanks.
