Default 1966 C-code engine detail questions

Happy Holidays!! Is there a concurse engine compartment detailing site anyone knows about? My car is a 66 Mustang C-code coupe, all stock 289 2V with a C4. I have two nice books and several piles of assorted information, but still not finding all info in detail. Some questions I have are simple, yet I can't find a direct answer. Example: The aluminum engine ID tag is said to go on the intake, but where on the intake??? There are about 20 threaded holes a tag could be bolted on. Another example: Engine to firewall ground. Where is the correct location for it???
Long story short, I'm seeking a factory correct information reference site, or a quality book with color photos, correct decal locations, factory paint stick markings, etc.
Thanks in advance for any input, Tom.

A general photo reference? Can't say I have one. Best pix I have seen here are at a thread called: 1966 Mustang. Engine bay detailing?

That's odd. If search for that thread from this forum it says 'Not found'. If I Google for the same words its the first hit. What does Google know that this forum doesn't??

Provided you find it, scroll down to find the photos. The general restored engine bay is correct but the pretty engine details are not all stock. Since he has the wrong manifold the tag is in the wrong place; should be up and to the rear a bit more; horizontal, not vertical. It would have been behind the A/C compressor in the unrestored photo. The ground strap is at the rear of the right head connected to a heater motor stud. I think the top end of the strap is visible in the lower left photo, way at the back left side just over the PCV hose.

Thank you very much, I will check it out. I found a "great" 429 sight, but I have found it harder to find info on plain Jane's. I don't know if it is okay for me to post the 429 site on this site, but if I can and anyone wants it let me know and I will post it.
Tom.
