Hi all, i had a quick question. I've got a 78 pwr wagon with a 440 that i'm trying get in good running condition, the engine runs strong when i can start it but this thing is an electrical nightmare. I have to jump it everytime. But here is my question I have 3 grounds coming off the battery, my main ground going to the engine block and 2 smaller grounds (about 8 guage wire) going to the bolt that is holding up my horn relay. One of those grounds was melting the insulation and smoking so i took it out of the loop by just cutting it. Now i have no power what so ever...how is this possible, I still have another ground going to the same place plus the main ground. Thanks in advance.
