In response to Bamacker
This '49 has a body ground that I think is in the incorrect location. Can anyone point me to where it should be?
The only ground strap on an original car would be from the negitive post on the battery to a bolt on the head near the thermostat housing (blocked by the heater hose in this illustration). There, originally, was no other ground strap unless it was added sometime since the car was manufactured. The body would be grounded through the engine motor mounts to the frame and from the frame through that body mount bolts.
