Re: Working Man's Burbon

After soldering and heat shrinking the conductors I soldered a 20 guage black wire to the shield on the end that phone plugs are on. This black lead will get tied to the chassis ground. The shielding wlll intercept the stray voltages before the conductors will. By having one end of the shield hooked to ground the induced voltage has a path back to battery negative. Do not hook both ends of the shield to ground.
This can make the shield a conductor and cause more problems.
The last photo is of the pair of melted cables I got. They are the Yellow and White cables that hook to the speed sender and to the solenoid. The yellow and white cables are the only two I shielded with foil and cured my problem. (Only 2 GV cables I obviously covered more than just those 2 with the foil.)
More to follow once I get these installed.
