Air-cooled engines don't have this ground. The one ground strap for the engine comes off the transmission mount. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Young Lafayette, CA 94549 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "jake beaulieu" <jbeaulie@ND.EDU> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 5:54 AM Subject: grounds: air cooled vs water cooled
Hello, I am going through my 82 AC Westy and replacing the terminals on all the ground wires (well, at least the grounds in the FI systems). While searching the archives I found several references to a ground wire that runs from the drivers side head to the chassis somewhere near the coil. I do not have this ground wire on my van and I am wondering if the PO eliminated it, or if it was never installed on the air cooled vanagons. Anyone know? Thanks, Jake 82 AC Westy |
