I have done it both ways and Racer 12 is correct to diconnect the grounds but I would also put a piece of business card stock between the contacts of the points. Also connect the ground as close to the area you are going to weld. Make sure that any paint has been properly removed. The only sure fire way is to remove the Mag. Hope this helps.
