Help!! Ground wire

Im in the middle of putting my engine back in today. On the wiring harness that comes off the starter, right down near the spark plugs theres a ground. I dont know where this ground goes to though. Anybody know where this thing goes?

Its actually on the side of the A/C P/S pump. But its a ground so whatever you can just freakin grind down a part a little till there is clean metal and screw it on.

that is the main engine ground. there are several bolt holes on the spark plug side of the engine it can go on just make sure it is clean(paint free) and tight.

A ground is a ground, but just let it fall where it wants to fall and attach it to the nearest
grounding point. Sorry thats the best advise I got for you, I don't have the car infront of me.

that wire is grounded to the middle intermediate plate on my engine. right about the level where the leading plugs are, there's a short 10mm bolt.
