SP311 ground cable

[J Adank]

I am assembling a Fair lady SP311 1600. I need a picture or a diagram of where all the leads on the ground strap attach. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks Joe

Joe,
Don't know if anyone has schematics for your year but on later models
negative post to chassis and engine block
chassis to engine block (typically from under the VR
Alternator to chassis
starter to chassis
there's a ground for the rear lights loom

Thanks guys for the help it’s a start I’m going to post some pics if the OEM ground cable and see if it looks Familiar to anybody if I could just glance at the original car it would be simple. I have the car basically all together. But the OEM ground cable in hand I don’t know where to locate the leads The pictures of the ground locations help a bunch

So what do you have to ground other than the points mentioned in previous posts??

Battery ground post goes to the engine block and a small diameter cable to the under battery location on chassis.
Starter mount bolt to the starter location on chassis.
Rear loom to rear location on chassis.
Front loom to front location on chassis

I will post pictures of the ground cable it has 4 lead out of it and I presume it is OEM buy the way it is made looks to be a 2 a 6 and a couple 10 ga wires all molded in and molded ends of deferent configurations and it is short about 18 inch’s My gut tells me block.frane, Volta reg mount and alt ? But I sure would like see a picture of it at the locations. Thanks for all your help.
