The conduit goes back to your breaker box (or fuse box if the system has
not been upgraded) and the breaker box itself is ground...OR SHOULD BE.
The proper way to ground the outlets, it you are using a standard three
wire plug is to have the ground terminal connected to a ground wire
which would normally be inside the conduit. If there is no ground wire
inside you will need to run one to do things properly.

Other wise, I'd leave it alone.

A ground wire is not necessary. You can use a bond jumper screwed
into the box. Which I surprisingly can't find a google image of.




Yes, that will work . I do not know if it would be "code" or not.

The problem I see would be the case of a bad coupling junction. I think
a ground wire would be the safer way to go.
