Before I ask this question, I need to tell you that I have done lots of research into this and that is why I am asking the question!!!
I'm just getting ready to wire the Slick Mag but the following two quotes sum up my dilema;
“Ground shield to mag, leave ignition switch side open”
“Actually, that advice may be incomplete - you may end up with always hot mags. I connected the shields to the magnetos and to the GRD terminal on the mag switch. Alternatively, you could just ground the GRD terminal to an airframe ground and not connect the shields at the switch. Either way, the GRD terminal must be grounded somehow. I prefer the shields because its less wiring”
Any comments (here's the thread)

Also, what is the large stud on the top of this mag, I see the P-Lead stud, and the ground screw next to it so I'm assuming this stud is the retard but I've learnt never to assume anything and best to check!
