Drivers Side Negative Battery Cable Routing

Every time I start a project I swear I am going to take lots of pictures, but always fail. So I am putting everything back together after installing a bunch of cooling goodies and I can't remember how the drivers side negative battery cable is routed and where is lands. any help would be appreciated,

It lands on a bolt on the front of the block somewhere near the head IIRC. It should be easy to see the spot for the bolt or the stud sticking straight out the front of the block.

Driverside is just a bolt on mine. Passenger side is a stud on my truck, which also holds the battery cable going back to the starter.

Make sure and put a star washer behind the cable. Get a nice bite for the ground.

Use points of reference, like the square key socket plug, for orientation and location.

It routes going down the side of the battery and then to the top of the frame rail, then across to the front of the motor where the bolt goes to ground it. Just changed out all my battery cables and that's how the stock ground on the driver side was ran on my 01.
