A little background info:
Every year for the last 15 or so, a group of us take the old cars to a nice show about 155 miles away. This year a fellow showed up with a very nicely restored 56 Crown Victoria. As he was pulling in, I noticed his headlights were very dim. I asked about it and he didn't know. The car wasn't restored by him, but all the wiring was replaced.
Now, on my car (also a Crown Vic), I've asked many questions, and of late, had a response regarding an unused hole in the driver's side head: That it's for a Body to Engine ground wire. I wonder if there are, or are supposed to be, any other body grounds? Anyone know anything? So far, I've got a Battery to Frame ground, a Frame to Engine ground, but only the Body to Engine at the firewall area. Just asking all this, as I think this fellow must have had poor grounds or very low output from his generator. or a poor battery. Also, I've seen a kit for sale that utilized relays to "fix" this problem. ANy thoughts? Jim
