Default HG reassembly ground strap/bracket

Things got hairy during the last parts of the disassembly and now I can't find my pic showing how the bracket and grounding strap go back together

Anyone able to orient me to ground strap and bracket attachment.....

***Update***

Orientation of bracket solved.... Grounding harness - how does this connect to the head? I have the 10 mm nut for connecting to the firewall but confused about how the grounding harness connects to the block

crankshaft speed connector - planning to leave the CPS out of it's bracket.....

I didn’t reconnect mine. I forgot. But you could run a ground wire from the manifold to the firewall or frame if you want

Pretty sure it actually connects to the the left rear corner of the intake manifold.

OHCJR you need to connect your ground strap. If not the electricity will find another way to ground. A common way is through the park brake cable. For small electrical loads it might not be that big of a deal, but the starter uses a lot of electricity every time.

Connect the strap using the bracket bolt. The other end goes to the firewall.
