I buy ground terminal strip from the electrical supply house with 18 to 24 points. I clean the paint off a couple of places on the cowl bar, drill and tap for two 8x32 screws to mount the strip with. I run a large ground wire (#8 fine strand) from the battery to the strip. Everything under the dash and hood gets grounded to the strip. I have a 5/16" bolt welded to the frame next the battery with a #2 welding lead (fine strand wire/ high amp cable) ground to it.
Six years and 21,000 miles no issues.
