Default Help ASAP. Where does this ground strap connect.

So I know it goes from the firewall the rear of the head somewhere. I think it may go to one of the two studs sticking out that the coolant tube from the water pump connect to. The tube runs under the manifold. But it's too late to put back there, and too hard.

Any reason I couldn't put it in one of the other holes in the rear of the head. I think they are not used. The ones on the outer corner.

I have a metal intake. So I think everything on the intake should be grounded through the intake bolts going into the head, right?

Yeah, just anything up on the motor works.

Regardless, the cab/engine ground fastens to the top of the intake (if it's metal) or to the front of the engine (if the intake is composite).
