New to me 95 ford ranger.
 
So I recently picked up a mechanics special 1995 ford ranger. With a distributorless 3.0 engine sitting in the bed of it. So far it's been a rough installment and its come down to the wires vs me. And right now my biggest question is where the heck does the battery ground out too. It has this weird tab on the side of of the ring terminal. And the wiring harness leads it down to about where the starter is. Should I just pick a starter bolt and mount it there? Or is there an actual place this thing belongs.

The cable in question is the one on the left. It has a tab that bends up at 90 degrees.

Battery's larger ground cable often connects to engine via starter motor/bellhousing bolt, as starter motors draw 60-75amps when activated

So does that mean I can just pick just any old starter bolt to ground it too? Or does it have a specific place it goes.
