The heavy ground cable from the negative battery terminal goes to the engine block in an area adjacent to where the battery sits - this is probably the site of the terminal you mentioned.
The engine is grounded to the car by a woven ground strap (sometimes 2 of them) about ½" wide and 6" long, that goes from one of the blind bolt holes on the back of a head to the firewall.
