<VV> Where does the negative battery cable connect to the engine?

[Frank DuVal]

You are right. Every one I have seen (61 to 64 car) is a woven ground 
strap that connects the negative battery terminal to the body (bumper 
bolt on frame rail) and to the head where the rear generator mount 
bolts. There are three connection points.
