Intake manifold ground wire

While asking for help troubleshooting my starting/running problems, a
lister (think Richard, but not sure) mentioned for me to check the grounds
on the intake manifold.  I responded that I did not think I had any, but I
would check.  I found the ground wires attached to a valve cover mounting
bolt, but I did not find any wires connected to the intake manifold.  Is
this something that started after the 1983 5kt auto non-quattro sedan
(build date 2/82 I think).  Just about where are the wires mounted on the
intake manifold (and the fuel distributor, as mentioned below).  Thanks,
Tex.
