    In garage, help needed on coil install.

    FINALLY doing the pamco install. My previous coil had a ground wire on the mounting screw on the ass side of the bike. Do I still need that on the new coil? I don't see a call out for that to be grounded in the wiring diagrams. Thanks for the fast help!
