Ground wire question, please help

There's a ground wire that bolts to the block next to the dipstick from what I understand, do any of you guys know exactly where that leads up to, because I think mine is missing.

Yeah, I know the ground wire goes to the bolt on the block, but where does it lead up to, somwhere by the PCM I was told.

It is a little wire with a 1/4 inch ring terminal,Looks almost identical to the small starter wire, I put a studded oil pan bolt near the motor mount and put it there.
