[Roadsters] Dead dead dead

[Paul Courson]

Isn't that an awful feeling?

That happened to my '68 at the frame end of the negative battery cable.

On a different car there was a bad cell in the battery that wouldn't
deliver high current. Lights still lit !

Watch out with that spark test anywhere near the battery. Hydrogen gas
possibly, and an explosion hazard.
