Default 69 Firebird cigarette lighter wiring

So I am doing some work behind the instrument cluster on a 69 Firebird. This car has a working Casco style cigarette lighter but wanted to change it over to the original Rochester style.. the old casco has a power and a ground wire, where the Rochester only has a single hot wire? Where does this type of lighter ground? The cluster that it mounts to is plastic.. do you just ground the housing to a ground wire??

I'm not real sure on this, but think it should be the ground for the dash:
(the arrows point to the straps that ground it)





It might be better to post your questions in the 67-69 Bird section also.
