Best Answer

If the existing conduit has not been intentionally or accidentally interrupted it is still an adequate ground. If you are in doubt about this or if a test proves that it is not grounded, new conductors including a new ground wire can be pulled inside the conduit. If the existing conduit is flexible conduit and it has "jake" type twist connectors, rewiring with a ground is advisable as those type of connectors do not maintain a good ground connection.
