I agree,
The NEMGTR once had a seminar with a Lucas rep. He stressed that the cause
of 99% of failures (other than dumb previous owners) was ground. Our cars
must have good clean grounds. Age and the rust worm are the enemies. Clean
those ground wire connections, and Lucas will not fail you. I wonder how
many good starters have been replaced because of this problem. But I love
the jokes anyway.
