Passesunderneath the motor and bolts to the block(clean it well first) on the passenger side toward the front of the motor I believe.

Cut it short, top ac bracket bolt, much better place and much better ground.

It doesn't really matter exactly where it gets bolted on, as long as it is somewhere on the motor. Clean and tight, like a good piece of a$$!!!
