On my '71 there is a starter 'hanger' [at the front of the starter] that mounts to the engine block and to the upper starter housing stud. That ground strap is attached at the bolt holding the 'hanger' to the engine block.

Hi LP,
It runs from the same bolt that goes through the starter brace into the side of the block to a short bolt and nut that goes through a hole in the side of the frame bracket for the engine mount.

any solid connection on the motor will work, the closer to the starter the better,
that is the electrical path flow, lots of amps going to the starter. 69VETT
