Default Alternator ground

Hey all.
I'm trying to upgrade the ground to my alternator. I have the cable, washers, and all the hardware, but where do I connect the cable to? I only see 2 things coming out of the alternator: a cable with a cap on it, and a harness. Where is the ground cable? Thanks.

Nevermind. I figured it out. There's a grounding point directly on top of the alternator.

The alternator is grounded through the engine block.

Right. And the entire case of the alternator can be used as a ground point. But, Honda is nice enough to have a screw right on the top, where you can connect a cable and easily add a ground.
