Air-cooled engines don't have this ground.  The one ground strap for the
engine comes off the transmission mount.

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
