Keith, are you sure it will run while shorted to ground? My 68 died 
when it shorted to ground. That was in winter, but I think the engine 
was pretty well warmed up by the time it did this. That was a long 
time ago, so I really don't remember much of it (except for all the 
angry motorists around me!)
