It goes to the alternator.
From the Service manual:
The 3 grounds from the battery go to
Left Fender Side Shield
Below A/C Compressor
Front of Right Frame Rail

Thanks for clarification. I should have made it more clear I wasn't sure just from looking, which went where and to verify in service manual.

Ok I'm an idiot. So last night I got pissed and decided to have a smoke and beer and had a uh huh moment. I relized there was a fuse between them so it had to be labled on the cover. Well now I'm feel like a dumbass lol. After that had a smooth first fire up. Alittle snag though. Now it's overheating. I'm thinking bad therm out of the box. So it's not finished yet. Thanks for the help guys.

Ouch. If you are going that far into it, replace them ALL on the block. The ones behind the motor mounts LOVE to rust out and leak.

Already done. That was part of the rebuild I did. I gutted the engine and replaced every seal gasket and freeze plug on it. Except these two.
