My ground wire came out of the wiring harness and bolted to the lower front (towards the headlights) side of the radiator core support.
Where it comes from in the harness I don't know, I just know where I unbolted and bolted back up.
I don't think it matters where you bolt it to , I think what its doing is grounding the radiator support to the car because the bolts holding it to the car is only going thru fiberglass, so in a nutshell you need a ground wire from the radiator support to the frame of the car.

Hi,
I don't know if we are talking about the same ground and if the position has changed (mine's a 74). But the picture below I took looking in between the open hood and the radiator support, so the top of the pic is towards the front of the car. In a 74 there's a hole in the shroud for the ground.
