The stock block heater is where the wire is coming out. BTW, if this one burns out (happened to me ) you can install a 'tank type' engine heater (JCWhitney sells them) by replacing the drain plug with a hose connector and do some plumbing. I'm very pleased with the results, I bought the 1500W version which heats the engine to 60C (!) in less than a half hour (!).
