You're right about the need to have some kind of connection. I don't remember seeing a strap as the V8's use but I think Packards version to accomplish the same thing on those cars is a ground wire from generator frame to the L headlight terminal strip mounting screw which bonds into fender. There is another wire that picks up at the same screw and goes to voltage regulator ground which is also integral with the mounting screw into the body. If either one of those is disconnected or missing, might cause some issues.
