Here's a link to the post: James's ground wire fix
Funny you mentioned that, I just finished that about an hour ago haha. Changed the Negative terminal out with 0/1 and and the Engine/Bellhousing with 10ga. I would have liked to do 4/8 but 10 was all I had on hand. I can't really tell just yet, but Idling in the driveway it does appear to have cured to flickering dash/dome light.

Checking OBD2/Torque shows 14.1v with the engine running, before was lower 13v IIRC. The previous owner didn't seem to have a flathead available based on the battery. That will likely be replaced soon as well. I looked more into the Amplifier, there is a good amount of corrosion and 2 of the wires appear nicked. I'll look into it more tomorrow.

I think the rear speakers also do not work. It may just be less work and better payoff to install a new amp and run 8 new speaker wires than running down these issues with a 20 year old amp.
