pin(ground ) to the block or alt. bracket acceptable?

Max,

        I don't know what year your van is, but from '86 on there is a threaded
hole in the AFM and  a M-8 (13mm wrench size I think) size bolt fits in
it. It is found on my AFM on the upper  front  just to the left of where
the electrical cable connects, you can't see it unless you take the AFM
off the throttle body and tilt it back. This is where I added a ground
strap. Hope this helps.
