You must like to fry everything. Breaded straps ALV.

I think those two on the driver side frame rail go to the block. It's been awhile so I might be wrong.

The one on the driver side goes from the block, just behind the altenator (10mm) on the same bolt that holds the front O2 plug. And goes to the frame rail also a (10mm) and has the groung from the front headlight harness on the same bolt. I think this is the one you are refering to. I know where they all go lol! As a matter of fact I can put an F-body together with all the bolts in a box, I don't need a template. GL!
