Default Mini starter / ground question

I am installing a mini starter on my 77, I have it mounted and the battery cable on but my question is what sound I do with the big ground wire that was attached to the stock starter bracket? Any suggestions? Thanks

any engine bolt will do. most use a bellhouse or trans bolt(if auto), starter mounting bolt, or the front starter brace(if the wire reaches).

Find a spot and bolt it directly to the block. That one is important.. It should run from the frame motor mount stand and then to the block. Usually, it was bolted to the block at the same place the front starter brace was. With your mini-starter, no brace is needed, but the ground cable will still bolt up in the same place. Might need a slightly shorter bolt.

Awesome! That is what I thought but I just like a second opinion. Thanks very much for the quick responses!
