Does anyone know the proper location of the battery ground cable?

Starter mounting bolt. Section 12, sheet A10.00 (page 188) of the AIM. Your page number may vary.

My 63 340HP ground cable connects to the bellhousing bolt. Roughly at the center position bolt on the passenger's side. Splitter is correct though, the assembly manual shows it grounding to the starter bolt ! Might have to change mine. Never noticed this detail. learn something new every day !

How about a car with AC (no starter bolts on driver's side)?

I can't say for a 63, but on my 65 with AC the ground cable goes to the bell housing bolt just above the clutch fork.

If you have A/C, then it bolts to the driver's side bellhousing.
