Engines hopefully going back in saturday so I'm in the process of checking everything and making sure every bolt is tight. Came across this one on the intake manifold just kind of hand threaded in and don't remember anything being connected to it unless it was a ground or something. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks guys you're a big help. This is my first time doing this and there's a lot of stuff that needs to be put back.

Just curious, is that ground necessary? Mine was connected from that spot to the chassis, I removed mine.

Grounds like this are absolutely needed, The engine and drivetrain are basically isolated, electrically, from the rest of the chassis.
Extra bolt they put on the engine for a spare in case you loose one...dont worry i have like 10 of them left over from my engine build :D
