I had a near disaster today in the final stages of doing the Gen 3 conversion on my car , stupid mistake on my part but thought I'd share it to maybe prevent anyone else making the same blunder.
When I connected my battery I had the center body section on and the main cable ground was out of sight behind the battery. I forgot about it and only connected the smaller dash ground cable. When I went to test out the starter all the cranking current went from the dash ground cable to the battery and tried to do a melt down in the harness!
I would suggest tying these two cables together to prevent this mistake.
