Grounding Questions

Can anyone tell me where ALL the grounding connections on the
DeLorean are? Monday my fuel pump quit on me in traffic. While I
pushed the car to safety, I was damn near killed by a double trailer
semi who turned the corner too fast and almost didn't stop in time to
avoid running me over. But that's a story for a another occasion...
My fuel pump doesn't work when connected, but my multi meter shows
about 10 volts comming thru the wire. After running a seperate wire
and grounding the negative wire from the fuel pump, the pump runs
fine. For the day an a half before the pump quit, the engine was
stalling randomly. So my guess is that this was a sign that a ground
connection was going out.
On a side note: When I removed the access panel to the brake master
cylinder, I found the front ground point. I disconnected all the
wires, but my headlights, cooling fans, & everything else still
worked. After cleaning the bolt, frame, and cleaning the connections
my fuel pump still would not work. But boy did my headlights get
brighter! Now when I run all accessories (lights, A/C, etc..) the
voltmeter only goes down to 13 volts!
