What makes you think that you have a ground problem??  Ground straps located at left and right head, near exhaust .  Need more information to diagnose problem!

I'm sure there are umpteen different ground WIRES. One for every different component, and then some, but I'm sure that's no help.

If the 81s are like the 79s, I also had a strap in front of the drivers compartment basically grounding the birdcage to the chassis...What kind of grounding issues are you having?LukesVette2010-04-06 21:12:12
