Engine Grounding Wire?

On my '66 F250, there's a 12-inch wire, (heavier than 10-gauge) mounted on the firewall just to the left of where the throttle cable emerges. I forgot to tag it when I stripped the top of the engine to clean and paint. Somebody remind me where the loose end attaches, please. Thanks.

It goes from the firewall to the rear bolt on the throttle cable clamp.
