The ground wire goes from the motor to the metal plate on the backside, as shown in the photo So there needs to be a good connection there but after that, you’d need a good connection from the three mounting holes on the firewall to the firewall itself (chassis ground).
If the motor worked...
I could totally be wrong here but that seems like a weak explanation. I would think that a lean condition would be caused by improper jetting rather than a fuel line that’s too small.
I have always heard that when properly jetted, the cylinders on the four corners, farthest from the carb tend...
I don’t know that there is an advantage or disadvantage in doing one before the other.
If you had an SE, I think there are emblems that go on the C pillar and I’m guessing they have nuts on the inside so maybe in that case, do the vinyl top first.

As a side note, I put them in my 71 Barracuda with the accurate system...

I just dropped off a set of heads for rebuilding and the guy told me six months minimum. He claims he is overloaded and can’t find decent help anywhere. Same story everywhere anymore.
I’ve been hearing that from guys in other parts of the country too. I’d try and tackle this yourself if you can.
