Let this be a warning to everyone with an ancient automobile:  YOUR WIRES ARE
ROTTEN!!  I had a problem with this for a year or so, and it took a guy with
a computer to tell me that my wires were rotten.  Cured all ills in one shot.
 I replaced mine with the big fat copper ground wires they sell at Home depot
for lightning rods.  Then the bolt rotted, and I had to drill and tap a new
hole.  This is why I went with the Tiico -- all new wiring!
