The year and model of your car would be a big help to us to help you .
Is the wire still attached at one end,or totally removed ?

I’m going to place this question to my turban, and do a reverse “Carnac the Magnificentâ€￾, and open a hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar found on Funk & Wagnall’s front porch, and hope the correct answer will be found…

A bit of fiddling & diddling around looking mystic & all knowing… You old guys know the drill.

Ed, ... where’s McMahon? Is Ed in the house?

Ha, ha, ha…

There he is.

Attach the “eyeâ€￾ end of the battery grounding conductor to one of the bolts fastening the power steering pump bracket to the block, or if no power steering pump is present, attach to one of three threaded bolt holes at the lower left (driver's) side, front end of the block.

Now for a real Carnac answer:

Answer: Sis-boom-ba…

This bit is real stupid, but stick with me here…

I’m holding the slip of paper to my left temple…

I got it.---The sound a sheep makes when it explodes.

Now for a Budweiser Add…

Nice answer Bill! :D

I think everyone is getting cabin fever. We'll get our cars out soon and the creative rhetoric will subside. Somewhat.
My Plymouth comes out of hybernation at noon today! :mrgreen:

Bill's answer is correct. There should also be a smaller un-insulated copper ground cable that goes from the top of the head on the manifold side of the valve cover to the firewall.

Take a look at the firstphoto. Bottom left side of block shows two bolt holes, and negative grounding conductor attachment without power steering.

Had there been power steering pump installed, its bracketry would be attached to the two vacant holes.

My later block dose not have that third hole where grounding conductor is landed as shown in this photo.
