David,

The engine ground strap goes from a bolt at the bottom front right of 
the engine block to the right hand support of the steering rack. No 
ground strap at the bellhousing.

Hope that helps.

A friend of mine is putting back together his rubber bumper car after a
complete dissassembly and rebuild.  He did a good job of taking pictures of
almost everything on the tear down, but somehow missed where the ground 
strap
goes.  Anybody know?  I'm talking about the braided metal strap about as 
long
as your hand.  Across one of the engine mounts maybe?  He can't find a 
sutable
place where it could have bridged from the bell housing to the body near the
battery box...
