That looks like the EEC ground. If so, it attaches to wherever you attached the battery ground to the body. It's imperative that it stays with the battery ground, or you'll very likely experience many headaches related to the EEC (if that's in fact what it is).

The picture shows the common ground point for the battery, extra 3G
alternator ground wire and computer power ground.
A screwdriver points to the bolt that is the common ground point.
The battery common ground is a 10 gauge pigtail with the computer ground
attached to it.

Picture courtesy timewarped1972


The computer has its own dedicated power ground that
comes off the ground pigtail on the battery ground wire. Due to
it's proximity to the battery, it may become corroded by acid
fumes from the battery. It is a black cylinder about 2 1/2" long
by 1" diameter with a black/lt green wire. You'll find it up next to
the starter solenoid where the wire goes into the wiring harness.
It bolts to the body at the same ground point shown in the picture above

The round thing is the quick disconnect for the computer ground.

Ground that wire to the place pointed to by the screwdriver in the picture in my previous post.

The 88 and 89 wiring harness used the same connector and wiring for the computer ground.
