As a rule of them, don't ground anything unless you know it's actually a ground or you'll fry something.Those leads are where you plug in a diagnostic tach.

What other wire? The one you think goes to the O2 Sensor? Or the one in the second picture?! There are two grounds...one to the firewall by the Wiper motor, and one to the top of the engine block under the intake Manifold. The one bolted to the block should be connected to the wiring harness...I could give you a better answer if I could see better...HUGE pictures...

It is the wire from your O2 sensor, at least, as best as guessed by the picture. Generally it connects to a connector that comes from the same general area as the BAC's. It commonly breaks off however

WOAH!!! I just finaly realised where the vac lines went stock. lol I never paid attention when I was ripping things apart. Too bad I already reworked it and ditched the ACV. That port on the intake piping had me confused for the longest time...
