Look on the Top of the bell housing DEAD CENTER. The ground runs from there to the spade lug to the right of the windshield wiper motor

If your looking for the ground I would suggest going to your local parts store and getting a 14-19" 4 gauge battery cable with the loop ends and putting that in the car for your firewall to tranny ground... It works great and that actually killed my 3800 hesitation.
