I bought a junkyard 1951 327 engine and it came with a broken carburetor and a lovely braided ground strap, and as I recall, it was bolted to the side of the head maybe where the oil filter mounts. I bought a 1946 Clipper Deluxe which had a broken terminal on its possibly undersized ground cable, so I swapped them. The one on the '46 blots to the side of the head at the throttle bracket. I made sure to clean paint and crud off of stuff before installation of the "new" one.


You can put the cable in a container and soak it in white vinegar and clean a lot of the crud off of it. A few minutes of that and a bit of degreaser for the stubborn parts and a bit of wire brush action and the darn thing looks great.
