Helm is a nice manual to have for anything, there's a page in it with just your ground wires and how there routed.

If he's talking about the 3 main ones that bolt from chassis to engine, then there are two large gauged ones from the left chassis frame to tranny and one smaller gauged one on the right side behind headlamp from radiator beam to valve cover.

Thanks!!! Does it hurt anything if you go with thicker ground wires, say draining the battery or maybe fry something?

No. I actually switched those 3 main chassis ground wires to some left over Monster Cable I had left over from when I was wiring up my system. Nice dress-up too.
