I decided that my 69 gto convert needed some new battery cables, so the process of replacing the old crudy ones, I also replaced the worn out/spliced/melted red wire that goes from the starter to the altenator. I go to start up the car, turn the key and...nothing. Now here is the kicker, I pull out the trusty test light and after an hour of probing discover that the altenator, valve covers, air cleaner, hood, fenders are all positivly charged! I double checked the wires on the starter, none of them are grounding out, once I turn the key off the above items no longer carry a charge. Any ideas??? Again the only wires I changed were the battery + lead, and the wire to the altenator...
