The "burnout" was probably caused by the engine not being properly grounded. If the Battery cable was not a Dual wire cable, that is, one part going to the block and the other part going to body ground or there was no grounding cable from the block to the body (usually around a motor or trans mount) then the path back to the Battery was thru the shift cable. The engine and trans being mounted in rubber, can cause lots of problems if the grounds aren't right. I've seen upper rad hose goosenecks (alum) eaten away due to the Neg current using the water as a path (Rad was mounted solidly to body). Regards, Ray From: "John J.

Order one from Steve Charette at Imperial Services . Totally correct appearance but much better material, etc. than the original. http://www.imperialservices.net/ all the info is on his Web site. Order / contact: 989-652-6309 It is entirely possible that some part of the cable shorted out against something and caused a meltdown.
