Stupid question

  Me and a Chevy guy were having a little debate about ground wires.  His 69 Camaro has 3 and my 68 R/T has 2.  Mine: negative battery cable to frame, then engine to frame.  His has the first 2 but also a body to frame.  Since the Charger is a unibody, do I need a ground also from the body to the frame?   :shruggy:

later year mopes also had a ground strap from the right rear head bolt to the firewall by the voltage reg.

I've done this to all my cars as it allows a better ground for the voltage reg. and the electronic ing. unit!!!!

1-Batt to engine ( driver side head very front bolt )on non AC cars. To compressor side attaching bolt on AC cars.
2-Batt to Radiator core support behind the batt.
3 From block ( passenger side head very rear bolt ) to firewall, with a strap.
