Where is the proper location for the engine ground strap on the engine and do I really need it ?

I will likely connect the other ground to the cab.

Engine to frame, battery to engine, and body to frame. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 56 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 56 | Also don't forget to use star washers to bite into metal for a good connection.
