Question GROUNDS

I removed a ground cable (I think ) from the intake and I believe it connected to the firewall. It has a round eyelet on each end. I forgot where it attached. There is a threaded bolt sticking out from the firewall about center of the firewall. Is this where it goes ?
How is engine grounded to frame if the motor mounts are insulated with the padding ???

I think the ground goes to the firewall via a screw. But it just needs to be attached to the motor then to the Cab. Another ground cable should also go from the motor to the frame as well in my opinion.

Grounds

You cannot have too many grounds. As said above, body to engine, engine to frame battery to engine and an extra body to frame.

I have only seen the ground cable attached the back of the right (passengers side) cylinder head. never the intake manifold.
