Default Ground Strap on 96 Dakota firewall w/3.9

Hello everybody. I have a ground strap approximately a quarter inch wide and 8 to 10 inches long hanging from the firewall not attached to anything. It looks as though it was fastened to the engine block or tranny at one time. Could someone take a looksee at their truck and help me out. Thanks !!!

Thinking off of memory, it does go to the engine. The ground strap is not critical but it does help keep battery flow better. So get it hookup as soon as possible to keep your truck its best.
