Default Instrumentation POD Ground??

Just curious, I was wondering exactly where are the ground points on the pod? When I removed the pod I looked for them But only found the 3 Wiring harness that plugs into the flex circuitboard and of course the wiring that go to the switches on pod. Thanks for any idea or help here...

I have had the pod out many times, but can't recall a grounding point on it. There is, of course, a grounding point below the pod in the driver's footwell.

There are about five or six grounds among the wires going to the pod connectors. IIRC, these ground everything within the pod and no other grounding was used.

There is a bolt into the steering column support below the pod that has several (4 or 5 I think) ground wires attached - at least thats what I found on my '85.
