Default Supplemental grounding of starter
The starter went Tango Uniform. In the process of removing it I was able to break the lug where the positive wire attaches to the starter. So I ordered a new Remy starter part number 96100 ($140.00) and a new 2/0 cable for the starter. I was looking to beef up the ground for the starter but only saw a very small ground lead for the starter solenoid.

Is their anything I can do to beef up the ground for the starter?

Clean the engine block real good before mounting the starter and if the engine grounds are good to go you are golden.

Most important thing to have on the starter is the nose strap to the block!

What nose strap? I do not see any on the schematic you attached and I did not disconnect any when I took the starter off.

Could also be more properly called a brace or bracket.
