What are you referring to as "my clip"?

On my 89 the negative battery cable grounds underneath the ICM mounting plate. Another wire runs from the same location to the fender.

Again you gotta get in there and clean the grounds on the connector and tighten up on the pin sockets with a tiny screwdriver. Apply dielectric grease and see how it goes.
You would also do well to clean all the battery and groun wires as suggested earlier.

That'* a threaded stud that goes into the front cylinder head. Let it come out. If the nut is stuck on the stud, spray it with something to break it loose, or get one from that car at the wrecker.

the stud threads into the front cylinder head, then the ICM bracket slides over it, with a nut to hold it and the grounds to it.
