Anywhere on the engine block or the chassis of the vehicle. Just make sure you have a good clean solid connection with metal.
EDIT: Make Sure it is a Negative-Ground car if you do this! Some 12-volt cars in the early '60's were positive ground; a lot of old 6-volt cars were, too. Google your car or get a Hayne's or Chilton's mannual if not sure. Reversing the battery will cause melted wires and destroyed diodes in the alternator, if you have one.

Why my 01 kia Rio battery won't charge has new alternator and new battery pulled neg cable off and tested positive post to neg cable no light came on.?
Electrical isn't your strong point, is it. If you take the neg. cable off the battery then you will not measure any voltage between the neg. cable and the pos battery because there is no complete circuit back to the neg side of the battery. I would start by making sure that the battery connections are clean and secure, as well as the main connection at the alternator. Check that there is no corrosion on any of the terminals. Use some sandpaper if you need to clean them up, on the terminals and the cable connectors.
