ground points are anywhere on the chassis that you can find a bolt or a bolt hole. if i recall, there should be a few convenient spots to ground your harness.

Very simply attach the negative to any piece of metal which is part of the body. Avoid stuff in the dash which might possibly be attached itself by screws. Going into the firewall is ideal if it is where you need to be.

Make sure to scratch off any paint at the contact points for a better grounding point.

you could probably spot some that are already on your chassis. in stock cars, your car has ground wires from some places. look for those.
