If you used the strut bearing to body bolt, that should provide ground. =
However you probably did not remove ALL of the paint and that will =
prevent a good ground. A die grinder with a sanding cone should do the =
trick.

Subject: more electrical problems?
A couple weeks ago, you guys correctly diagnosed my rocc's problem =
with running as being a bad ground. The problem was it would start but =
would either stall immediately or not go far without "bucking" when i =
stepped on the gasI replaced the ground from the valve cover to the body =
and the negative battery cable at the same time. When i replaced the =
battery cable i didn't realize that it connected to the body then to the =
transmission, but after i replaced it and the ground the car ran great =
anyway. When it broke down at my high school while doing the same thing =
as before, i figured maybe it was because i had forgotten to ground the =
battery to the body or the ground i put in got loose so i went and got a =
cable and ran it from the battery to a nut where the strut is (was gonna =
be temporary) but the car still does the same thing with the better =
grounding. (that is a decent ground, right?) So, what the heck could be =
the problem? tia
