^Re: <VV> faulty grounds

[Geoffrey Albert Clarke Johnson]

Ever see a gas line do that?   The grommet to firewall was gone on my old 
61 when I first got it, and the gas line rubbed through the insulation on 
the positive battery cable going to the starter.  All of a sudden power 
went, and I looked in the engine compartment thinking, what is that orange 
glow?  The whole line to the fuel pump was bright orange.  As I turned to 
run I ripped off the battery cable and let it cool.  No harm but quite a 
sight!
