NY What Are The Best Grounding spots in the engine bay?

I bought a buddyclub grounding kit and im wondering what the 3 best grounding points in the engine bay are. I was Thinking the two left grounds on the firewall near the washer fluid and maybe one ground to the alternator. Only got three wires so i wanna make them count!

There are many factory grounding points throughout the bay, you could use some of those. Another option is to look up an aftermarket grounding kit and see if they have the install instructions online, you could use those points. HERE is an example of one I found.

If these threads are not sufficient then I would suggest you not go through with the modification, as it could lead to potential electrical system damage and/or personal injury.
