Hi all
Does anyone know where the ground strap from the steering box to the frame is attached to the frame?
Thanks
Al Shoop

I can tell you that I have mine attached to the inner bolt of the lower suspension. This is located directly below the steering unit where the ground strap is located.
The bolt that I speak of is one of two that attach the lower -inner suspension to the frame. My ground strap is just long enough to reach this location.

Mine has one lug attached to the rack grease plug, goes over the back side of the left rack mount and it’s other lug is attached to the rack mount nut underneath.

Oh, I see. I was assuming it was the same as the steering coupling ground strap but now I see that it is different.
Thanks to all

Mine is grounded like the photo Merlin provided two posts above. It's been that way since I purchased the car 50 years ago.

Some of the new racks don't have a grease nut, and that makes is hard. I had to improvise.
