I found an error in the 1978 Electrical Service Manual "Ignition System" wiring diagram, on page HNFG 8 in the wiring diagrams section. It would appear there is no wire going from to the negative coil post from anywhere on Slant 6 models. In the orange box, it says "8 cylinder" with no other wire indicated for a 6 cylinder for this circuit.
Would anyone be able to send this page from a 1980 Electrical Service Manual? I'd like to see if they caught the error.

Maybe I'm a little dense but I think that may be just an oversight. Leaving it out and letting the reader just assume it is for all engines makes more sense though.

I suspect the arrow is misplaced. I think it should be pointed downward more to the J2 circuit wire. I thought it was interesting, the end result would be no wire grounding the coil, a blasphemy of epic proportions in an electrical service manual.
