If I recall correctly, I had mine rigged to the big spade terminal on the
generator -- this was on a 66 MGB converted to negative ground. The
capacitor was bolted (and grounded) to the block via a bolt on in unused
threaded hole immediately behind the rear generator bracket. Car has
since acquired an alternator -- it could still use noise suppression but
I wasn't sure how to rig it with the alternator wiring.
