This has been quite a thread. In two years of reading this forum I recall several A owners having electrical problems which have been solved by improving connections in one place or another. The most annoying problem would be a poor connection/ short leading to a dead battery at a very inconvenient time. I installed a disconnect in the X-member close to that shown In #18. With size 0 and 00 cables, a cable connecting the transmission to the battery, gussets welded from the X-member to both frame rails, and the disconnect I think I have a bulletproof ground.
