I posted this on the electrical forum with no response, so maybe with more traffic here someone can help. Do the relays and voltage regulator need to have bare metal contact when they are mounted to the firewall, or does it matter? Just painted the firewall, and there was a ground strap that fit under one of the voltage regulator mounting screws. This brings up the question of how many ground straps are there on a '72 Cutlass, and where is there proper location? Thanks, Chumley
