Off the top of my head .....

The ECU grounds to the body fairly close to the ECU. Just follow the
brown wire from the connector.

A brown wire (for O2) connects to the engine block just forward and
slightly left of the distributor. Alternatively, this same wire may be
located at the oil breather tower base (or so I've read)

As I think you've discovered already, there should be a second ground
point near where the braided strap connects to the engine bay metal.

There is a ground strap between the drive train and frame at the
forward end of the transmission. If you replace that strap or remove
the bolt to clean things up, make sure you remove the paint back to
metal where strap connects to frame. Also clean where it connects to
the transmission bracket.

If you have a Bentley, there is a list of all the grounds at the
beginning of your model year wiring diagram.
