That leaves the terminal lug on the horn relay as a connection point. There is a large wire on that lug as well as the main battery cable and the battery cable going on to the starter solenoid, That large wire (number 8 or 10) is usually yellow and goes directly to the ammeter.

But as this car is likely your convertible there should also be a wire on that terminal at the horn relay that feeds the power top. If you also have power windows or power seat there could also be additional wire to power those connected at the horn relay
For sure it seems like it maybe goes to the firewall with a bolt and star washer. The lug on the horn relay is for + connections so I better not hook it up to that!

Yes it is for the convertible. Not sure what the wire which feeds the power top looks like yet, I better look at the wiring schematic.
