Usually the neg cable from the battery goes to the block/bracket somewhere. Can definitely be a ground issue, no ecu with a points distrib.

currently, it goes from the battery to a bolt on the front of the head.

I have two, one from the intake to wire wall and one front the head to the front frame rail under battery. Nope, a good ground is a must do, wont Bert a thing and I advise it.

sweet, I've got a couple spare grounding straps I'll try

Add a good ground wire to the radiator support off the battery
