Went to start the Pontiac today, hood open, and started seeing sparks under the hood near the heat shield carrying the red battery lead to the starter. This has always been problematic, as the red starter and solenoid control wires run very close to some very hot surface enroute to the starter as you know. I have not had a chance to pull it down just yet, so unsure what I'll find in the heat shield. (I did disconnect the battery.) I am suspect it is melted, but did not want to push my luck any further.
Can't seem to find any help in the shop manual other than routing behind a thin plate, or even a good color picture on the internet.
How did you route your starter wire in the 1971 Pontiac Bonneville 455? I think I am going to route it along the wheel well and then across to the starter.
Thoughts? Pictures?
Thanks...
