Burnt wire

Craig, Sorry, I neglected to mention the year/model. I always get aggravated trying to do this stuff on my phone. Car is a 1972 Demon 340 w torqueflite.

str12, no the wire isn't touching the kickdown, I know it kind of looks that way. It never was though. It's just wierd that I can't see any sign of the other end of it.

Mike, I don't believe it's the fusible link, I think I felt that in another part of the loom, I'll check and get another pic later.

Mattax, Yes, it definitely looks like it's two wires coming from the second cavity down on that plug. I'll try and get my old *** underneath the car later and see if there's a wire loose down there.

I can tell you all it does turn over though. Not ready to fire it up yet but I could see if the plugs are getting spark.
