Here are some recommended grounding points.

Alternator bracket
Radiator mounts
ECM/ECU if it’s under the hood
Strut towers
Throttle Body
Engine Block
Fuel rail bracket
Firewall

There are, of course, other places to mount to but you need to determine these for your particular car.

Good post here.....
FYI,
1) Grounding cables is for those who want their ICE sounds better... kinda works (no.1 factor rust/dirt betweed body part to body part!)
- I think, 1% effective... for Old cars
- New... no differents coz with no rust!!!
2) Fuel save.... CRAP....
3) Car idling, better for 0.01%
- improvement for false signals to ECU due to Car's electrical systems.
