Grounding wire to the block '96

I recently replaced my cylinder head and notice in my book they told me to remove the grounding wire from the block. I located where it should be next to the distr but it wasn't there. Can I just get a normal electrical wire and attach it from the block to the distr or is it a special braided wire? A pic would help.

Thanks

just got to auto zone or any parts store like that and buy the neg cable.

An 10 or 8 gauge wire with crimp connectors would work, but use stranded wire, not solid and use oil and gas resistant wire. A pre-made light guage battery type wire with bolt hole terminals on both ends will work too.
