its just a ground...not a huge deal...usually bolts to the block then to the firewall

No, I believe he is talking about the 'braided' ground wire. Mine was grounded to the block and the firewall. That isa very important ground. Be sure to replace it if you can't find yours. I don't know how you would lose that, but hey, anything's possible.
