A bare-metal connection, crimped, then heat shrink slid over it and shrunk down. The metal connection doesn&#8217;t overheat the wires and provides a positive connection. Then the heat shrink protects against corrosion and supports the wire going into the connector so it can&#8217;t bend and break as easily.

Most of these cars had a ground from the battery to the engine block, then some ground wires from the heads to the body. Add more grounds! Run a ground cable to the frame and another to the body. This is especially true if you have a trunk-mounted battery: a ground from the battery to the frame and another to the body. Then under the hood from the frame to the engine. With modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/making-ls-engines-look-old-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LS engines<\/a>, having an extra ground is never a bad idea either.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbc6d4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dbc6d4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"642\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fenderframe.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-49749\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fenderframe.jpg 642w, https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fenderframe-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Even with surface rust, you need to grind down to a clean surface! <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-27d4223 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"27d4223\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-aa1b668\" data-id=\"aa1b668\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a51850 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0a51850\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tools of the Wiring Trade<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-55f18de elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"55f18de\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-aedf67e\" data-id=\"aedf67e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b490689 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b490689\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You wouldn&#8217;t build an engine without the proper tools such as a torque wrench, so why would you wire without the proper tools?
