Grounding COPs
I'm just about finished putting together my COPs. At the moment I only have it grounded through the coil harness with a single 14gauge wire. Is this sufficient or are others adding additional grounds. If so where are you grounding it. I believe I also read in one of the threads (though I can't find it now) that the Cap should be placed as close to the COPs as possible. Am I remembering correctly or daydreaming?

I'm wiring up my COPs tonight after work. Besides the harness ground, I'm going to run an additional ground to the cylinder head like the OEM coils.
I still have to search on how to wire in the capacitor. I forget whether the long or short wire on the CAP does to the +.
EDIT: Found info on wiring capacitor here:
