I am about to connect the magneto switch wires for Slick mags on a Lycoming O320 engine. I have the Z-34 set-up of two (2-3) magneto switches and a push button for the starter. Note 3 for Z34 advises grounding the shield to engine ground at the mag end. On a previous post I found this:

I recommend each mag switch get grounded through the shield
of the p-lead where only the mag end of the p-lead shield
goes to the crankcase or other handy fastener on the engine.
Bob . . .

On the mag case an inch from the P lead post there is a handy #8 screw labelled GND. The case is intimately attached to the engine. Can this GND screw be the handy fastener on the engine where the P lead shield is grounded when wiring a mag switch per Z34?

On the switch end, the same P lead shield gets attached to terminal 3 of the switch, right?

The mag pictured is not mine but is like the one I have and is for illustration only. No advertisement intended.

Yes . . . or to any other 'handy' ground
to crankcase . . . doesn't have to be on
the mag nor is it prohibited to extend the
shield ground with a pig-tail long enough
to find a more remote ground. But it looks
like your best option is nicely located.

of the switch, right?

Yes . . .
