Re: ground strap?

The battery is grounded to the engine; if there isn't a separate engine to body strap (as in the V8s), there is often a generator (engine) to body ground. And the body is grounded to the chassis, if no where else, thru the parking brake cable. I've never known the lack of a discrete engine or trans ground strap to the frame to be a problem, but I often see one on the rear transmission mount, just from one side of the mount, around the rubber, to the other side. Might help, can't hurt.
