For 3rd gens:
-Radiator core support for headlight harness and battery ground reinforcement.
-Battery wire to driver head or A/C compressor
-Ground strap from passenger head to firewall
-Ground strap at wiper motor
-Dash frame above brake emergency handle to some dash functions ( map light, voltage limiter, seatbelt light insert ). Rest of cluster really gets ground by chassis, wire is a reinforcement
-driver side trunk reinforcement for driver side sidemarker ( also 73/74 full tail lights setup due the plastic housing )
-ground wire from steering column bolt to steering column holding stud
-ground strap at fuel sender outlet to fuel line at body

Some specific years grounds:
-71/72 passenger side trunk reinforcement for passenger side sidemarker
-ground on dash frame lip between ashtray and glove box to 74 interlock control
-eyelet terminal ( engine harness ) at one of the wiper motor studs to the reset button on 74s
-74 headlight harness carries extra ground wires to parking lights, but attached to same radiator core support wire net.
