Pins that are tied together should be grounded to the engine, not the chassis.

The rest of the pins on top are either spare pins, or grounds. Basically any pin higher than pin 7 can be grounded. A couple lower than 7 could be too, but I'd have to test which of those are spare pins as I don't remember off the top of my head.

I also would not tie together pins 7-11... I'd run individual ground wires from there to a single ring-terminal that is bolted to the engine.
