Well, my car is a '71 with a '72 wiring harness. The red wire that gives 
the FI system its juice runs straight from the battery if I can recall 
correctly. That wire was held by one copper thread to the round plate 
that screws into the battery terminal contact. I wasn't saying so much 
that this one wire was your problem, just that if you want to eliminate 
electrical issues it might be worth your while to go through and 
double-check all your electronic connections. Make sure they're clean, 
connected well, and are grounded properly.
