Question Battery Ground location?

Quick one - need help
Where exactly (what bolt) does the battery negative cable connect to the engine?

I have rewrapped the engine and emissions harnesses but seem to have not located the ground correctly in the engine harness; I thought it was mounted to the upper starter mounting bolt but nope....

Thanks!

your talking about the B/Y 0 gauge wire? i grounded that one underneath the coils where the rats nest and the like bolt on to the block, probably not the best spot, but i get plenty of juice to the starter and the rest of the car.

I finally found another post revealing the ground goes on the sheetmetal bracket mounted with the AC / PS bracket. The sheetmetal bracket is used to anchor the Engine wire loom. It doesn't look to be the best ground but is as originally installed.
I appreciate your response however.

A lot of us have added multiple additional grounds to our cars. I added a 4 gauge from the battery to the chassis, plus two more braided-strap style that go from the chassis to the engine block.

I have also followed the grounding upgrade suggestions.

Thanks
