In the '66 Assembly Manual , page 237, where is the body connector actually located on the car .
I'm trying to get my license plate light to work and want to check some wires .

location (ground)
Thanks, I found the connection clipped to the crossbar under the dash. Now for another question.....
when I hooked up the license plate light assembly , I cleaned the power wire and its plug but the shop manual I have says to make sure the ground wire is attached . The only other wire I saw was attached to a screw that holds the wiring cable in place and it attaches to the assembly itself . Is there supposed to be a ground wire from it going to the frame somewhere ? Seems like I did see a screw and lock washer with nothing attached to it on the frame not too far away .

The harness has grounds throughout it that has attach point/locations.
There is not another wire coming from that ground location.
The screw/lock washer setup should have a harness clip/clamp that attaches to the rear cross bar. I just don't remember at what location on that bar...
Someone else should/could chime in to help...
