<VV> wiring harness getting hot

[John McMahon]

I am getting ready to install an Ignitor I in my 1965 Monza, so I traced the 
resistor wire up to the connector in the engine compartment.  I turned on 
the ignition to check with a voltmeter so make sure the corresponding wire 
was getting 12 volts, and then noticed that the harness was getting very 
hot.  Not *quite* too hot to touch, but darn close.  The engine harness is 
new, but the main harness is not, and it seemed to be only the new harness 
that was getting hot. What could be causing this?

Thanks,
