FC engine earth points

hey guys,

just need to find out where is the correct mounting point for the earthwire strapped to the firewall just behind the intake manifold on 13bt. which bolt does it connect to and if it was broken would it cause an engine management issue??

Cheers

if its the one o'm thinking of, it connects to the firewall using a female to male blade connector. the other end is a ring terminal and it connects to the bellhousing. i can post a pic if you want..
