I cannot remember where this was, I think it was on the passenger side, attached on one side to the starter motor brace, but where did the other end go?

One end goes to the motor mount frame component on the passenger side. The other goes to the block somewhat infront of the starter.

On my 69, the ground cable goes from the brace on the rear of the starter motor to the right hand frame "motor mount" recess. You should be able to find the location in your AIM. MIGHT be different for your year. :) Chuck
