Ground strap locations
 
I took apart my 81 TA for paint a while ago and time has come to put it back together. Is there a ground strap somewhere near the motor mounts that bolts to the motor mount bolts? I know there is one from tranny to frame, engine to firewall, and the battery cable. Its about 14" long and 3/8" flat. Anyone know?

my lower mile 81 didnt have a ground on the motor mount bolts, neither have any of the 74-81 cars i have stripped. cant hurt to add more grounds but i dont think the factory used one there. could be wrong tho.

The only one on my 77 TA, and other 2nd generation "f" bodies I've parted out, were on back of pass side head to fire wall.

The 1980 Assembly manual shows an extra that seems to come off the main battery cable ground terminal but doesn't have a destination, but the diagram has it ending down near the engine mount. That in itself is different to previous years that had an extra cable but looping around the the radiator support.
