Which bolt does the clip on the purple starter wire go on? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wasn't sure where to put this one. It isn't really an electrical question, it's more of a restoration question. If a mod feels it should be moved that's OK with me.
I am running a new purple wire to my starter. I pulled a wire off a donor truck but it's melted and not usable, but I am going to take the clip off this wire and would like to put it back on the engine where it goes. Is it one of the bell housing bolts?

yes ,,, not the top one/ middle one but the one on the pasenger side next to it

So of the two on the far right (passenger) it would be the top one correct?

Yup. Personally I always go with the solenoid approach, that way I can bump the engine if I need to while working on it
