I took my sway bar off on the front so I used the mounting pad on the drivers side to ground to the engine block to. In the rear I just made sure that I had a good clean ground through the frame rail. Mine works fine.

Make sure you have a real good ground in the rear. I have my 67 relocated to the back, with a 1gauge going up to the solenoid, and a cable from the engine to the firewall. In the rear I have a cable from the - battery to the bumper bolt. Won't even turn the engine over.
