I need to verify my understanding of the main ground paths incl. the head ground at the firewall.

Head is grounded at the firewall via braided ground strap - correct?

What is the solidity or backing behind the firewall ground screw? My ground screw there is a sheet metal type (appears original) and the firewall steel is a bit deformed there. Should I get a thicker screw?

Starter is grounded via heavy cable directly to battery?
Does this also provide an effective ground path for the head/block due to starter mounted to drivetrain? If so why the strap to firewall?

Chasis is grounded directly to battery at left (driver's) side strut tower - correct?.
