wire help please

I'm in the process of putting my motor back in and I have one wire I can't figure out where it goes. it comes out of the harness and with the carb wires on the passenger side. It has two wires coming out of it, looks like a ground wire, but I don't know where it connects to. In the pictures I took I can't tell.


any help would be appreciated thanks

The one with the round end on it. One brown wire, one black with a white stripe.

Looks like a grounding eyelet.

Re: wire help please

Yeah looks like a ground wire to me too. Any chassis/engine/frame ground. If it will reach, that alt. bracket bolt on the intake will work great, or that hole on center of top alt bracket

That's what I figured it was, just couldn't figure out where it came from. I'll get it bolted down and hopefully get it fired up in the next couple days.
