I was wondering where the ground wire is/ hooks up to on a 1978 Ford F150 Ranger. It had a 351M but I put in a 460 but they should't be that diff. on ground wire, i just cant remember where it was on my 351, thanks.

sorry for the late reply...i have everything hooked up on my motor finally and I tried to start it over but all i get is a "click" noise (obviously from the starter) could this be because it isnt grounded? If so could I have pics of where these ground wires are suppose to hook up?
Thanks
