Try using the center seat belt mount for your ground. It's cleaner and i
believe it provides a better ground.

Take all the grounds from the negative terminal in the engine bay and
ground them with the bolt where the original battery tie down was. Neat

I'd go to a stereo shop and get a power distribution block. Mount the
block to the old battery tray and have at! This way you have a way to tap
into juice for goodies up front in the future. You never know.
