The correct ground strap bolt on location is on the universal joint cover. See photos.

Piggybacking on this, can you also provide any information on battery hold down hardware for a 1936 Phaeton ?
 
Don,


Except for the two upside down Vs with tails with threaded ends that secure the rectangular perimeter on top of the battery, the battery's position and how it is secured also shows up pretty well in your photo in #2 above.
 
Here's the photos from pages 94-95 in The 35-36 Book as well as a closeup from the photo above.

There is a detailed description of the hold down hardware in The V-8 Clubs 1935-36 Ford Book pgs 94-95

I'd strongly recommend that anyone owning or working on a '35 - '36 Ford, pick up a copy of the V-8 Club's book that Don mentioned. It's a wealth of information, and can be ordered on the V-8 Club's website.
 
I have the book but it doesn’t have a detailed picture of the location for the bolt on
At least I didn’t see it but thank you Don for the pictures. As always thanks again for
All your help, Blast.
 
I finally found the photo that shows where the ground strap is bolted to the universal joint cover caps. The driver's side bolt, lock washer, flat washer and nut assembly also holds the ground strap in place.

That’s perfect Don.
Thanks again for going the extra mile locating that picture. Thanks, Blast.
Also thank you Petehoovie for the blow up picture.
