Default 72 BB noAC Blower Motor Ground Terminal?

Back story - I'm restoring/modding my 72 BB non AC car. I've gotten to the point where I'm installing parts in the engine compartment and the little vette gremlin has showed up again (my excuse for brain lock). I am having a hard time figuring out where the blower motor ground terminal attaches to the blower motor (according to assembly manual). When I removed everything I thought I had taken plenty of photos but low and behold the one photo I have of this area is blocked by vacuum plumbing.

I'm hoping someone has a photo of this silly little connection and how it attaches (see photo). It may be as simple as using one of the blower motor attaching screws and done but I want to be sure that's it and if not what does it attach to.

Thanks in advance for helping out a knuckle head.

Hi R24,
The grounding tab mounts to the same screw as the radio interference capacitor.

This is looking up through the side vent opening. Looking at the blower motor the screw is about at 2 o'clock.

You could use about any screw location that the ground wire can reach. BUT, you need to be sure any paint/crud is removed from the blower flange and the underside of the screw, so that a good electrical path can be maintained. Once installed, put a bit of black RTV over the screw and joint to seal it from corrosion.
