ground strap
1987 model. Found cut ground strap. Pretty sure its the one shown page 8A-201-1 fig. 8 of FSM labeled ground strap. Cant find a corresponding reference to terminal location. Can anyone tell me where it connects to? Appreciate your help.

Look at 8A-30-2 and you'll see it going from G101 to G104 & the component location will take you to 8A-201-1 & -2. I don't believe you'll have any difficulty sorting it. Frame rail below/in vicinity of battery tray to engine block vicinity of oil filter.

extra grounds
I redid all the grounds on my 1987 soon after I purchased it. I added 3 extra grounds to different locations and my lights,charging and everything seemed to improve..

A 'short cut' back to 8A-30-2 I'm not familiar with on all of the various digital FSM offerings.

Some year FSM don't have a component image in 8A-201. I believe '87 is one that doesn't so in this post is an image.
