My understanding is that it goes to the farthest DS outboard screw that holds the filler panel between the radiator and the upper rad support. 

Edit: I just took a look through Tony's thread(fun to do, regardless if you need info) and on page 11 there is a picture that shows the overall engine bay. If you look closely, you can see the ground wire on the filler panel, as above.

Just ran into this picture on our 70 AMX. I know you found what you're looking for but, here's another picture just the same.

Thanks Chris and Rick.  Now I know where it's supposed to go!

Picked up an AMC part numbered R4B for Peggy. Correct for concours judging :)


Hopefully the big C is done soon so she can be back on the showfield.

Make sure that R4B will fit under the hood before throwing it on there. The stock 390 cast iron intake manifold is actually pretty good for flow already and it fits under the hood, although it’s a bit heavy. 

Beautiful car, great job

Tony doesn't have ram air, and he already has an Edelbrock Performer intake installed. The R4B is essentially the same height.
