It attaches to the same spot as all the other grounds (ecu, etc...) on the
left side of the engine.

Subject: Strange broken ground strap on 86 Vanagon

Hi folks.
Today I was changing my cap and rotor when I looked over on  the driver's
side of the engine and noticed a large metal ground strap (I believe) that
was dangling onto the exhaust. Problem is I cannot seem to find a place
where
it may have been attached to. It is bolted to the engine but I haven't a
clue
where else it goes. Can anyone assist? Guess I need to add this to my list
of
parts (exhaust pipe, instrument cluster (or just working odometer) and now
ground strap.  I wonder if this broken strap could be the cause of any
problems?
