New Coil harness doesn't have Ground

I just got a new coil harness from Ray, the old one had a ground but the new one doesn't. I completely stripped it down to the wires and I could not find any. Has anyone else experienced this?

Later versions of the stock coil harness did NOT have the ground wire. You stripped it down for nothing.

The original had an anti emf wire shield wrapped around it and that was grounded. Why get so disturbed just because it is different?

It wasn't a big deal for me to unwrap it and then re-wrap it. I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't doing anything to mess the car up, seems to be a re-curing theme.

Thought it was going to be running in June 3 months later still no smiles....
