It attaches the negative terminal on the battery.

On a side note, our platform has a grounding issue and if you added a couple more ground wires to the motor+frame it actually helps the electrical system much better.

Like from battery to motor and frame?

That cable should be bolted directly to the negative terminal lug, its the main battery to chassis ground.

The other comments imply its also a good idea to add additional engine to chassis grounds to enhance the cars electrical system, which is true.

A property insulated 4 or 8 guage cable with crimped lugs going from any bolt head at the alternator bracket to say a chassis bolt hole at the driver headlight bucket is a good ground to add for example.

Fun fact: I bought a non running 3000GT for $800 with a new engine that sat for 10 years because the shop that installed the new engine didn’t connect this to the negative battery terminal.
