How Many Grounds?

They ground the starter thru the aluminum tranny case and the strap connections had corroded, so the speedometer became the return path.


Seen that before a couple of times, and one that was grounding through the U joints.
They brought it to me because they were replacing U joints once a month and not trashing on the car at all. ( like neutral drops and stuff like that)
The arching of the current from the caps to the U joint journals via the needle bearings was eating up the bearing surfaces.

Figure that one out without ever seeing it before. :D
