There's two if you look closely, the third goes from the drivers side valve cover to the fire wall- just below the wiper motor and next to the brake booster. You will see a hole there, possibly with a fastener of some sort. I can get more exact, and close up pictures tomorrow if need be.

It looks to me that there are two in your first photo. One on the drivers side area as you described and the one on the passenger side valve cover area to the firewall? Some close ups would be great. Also a close up of the wiper motor/pump electrical connections.

There is a third that goes from the firewall to the frame rail on the passenger side. Look close, you'll see it. I will snap some pictures with my phone and try to get them posted.

Do you have the inner fenders installed yet? If not, that diagram shows the one going from the body mount to the frame rail. The one you have installed is on which side?

On 70 one goes to the frame and fire wall, the other two go to the valve covers on each side of the motor. The dimples in the fire wall have a purpose on where things are attached on the car. Not all cars got the ground straps.
