ground wire?

where should the ground that goes from the frame rail to the block hook up? any place specific or does it matter as long as it goes from the block to frame rail? its an '88 f-150 302 5-speed. me and a friend have just spent a week replacing gaskets and we want this thing to run but no luck yet. i think this could be making the starter not spin at its potential. any help is greatly appreciated.

i don't think it really matters were you put the ground, just as long as it goes somewhere on the block. on my'87 it goes from the frame to the rear header bolt.
