This is a completely stock KA24E single cam. Everything on the car is stock.

The negative battery wire goes from the negative terminal on the battery to a little clip on the battery tray. Then the wire goes another 10" and terminates in a ring terminal.

I need to know where this ring terminal is supposed to bolt to. I looked on the frame but there isn't any hole that is threaded.

Where was this ring terminal supposed to bolt into?

The technician already unbolted this terminal before I inherited this car otherwise I would have already known the answer.

Bolts to the intake plenum, anywhere really, but the hole is near the lower half, below the throttle body. M8 bolt.

I see it where the intake plenum splits in half. There are 2 studs and bolts to hold the halves together.

There is a third bolt that holds the ring terminal.

Thank you.

just attach it to one of those bolts and you are good. I ended up having to make a bunch of extra little gounds for my sohc. Makes a little difference. My battery tray is rusted out so i am sure that the chassis ground there is not very good

Not sure if you know the difference but how you run your ground is more important than quantity.
