I don't see anywhere on the tranny or the intake manifold that has a little metal ending to plug that into and then ground.

There are two bolt holes on the back of the UIM (passenger side). This wire is bolted to the UIM there, utilizing one of the holes, and then bolted to the firewall on the other end. See the red arrow in the attached photo

Yep. There's a metal tab on the firewall that the quick-connect end attaches to, and the ring end attaches to the intake manifold with one of the bolts that holds the rear engine hanger on.

Thanks guys, I see where it goes now. Great pic

Engine is almost ready to start, just have to finish up a few things and on Monday I'm going to fire it up (I'm out of town this weekend)

I'll keep everyone posted
