Subject:Re: Dead Vanagon....please help!

(I am posting this pmail, without permission, to rapidly help a fellow
Vanagoner-in-trouble, a "VIT")

There sure are more grounds!

There is a thick ground between the transmission and the body, and
apparently there is also one from a head to the body too (I think it is to
the body).

In fact - there quite a few grounds.

Now, my I have two Bentley's, but one is at work, and the other is 15
stories beneath me in my van. All the ground locations are listed there -
methinks.

What I am asking from the group, is that a fellow listee please post all the
common grounds, to help Chris solve his mysterious drivability problem.

Kind Regards,

Marshall Ruskin
