Keep thinking I would rebuild the original one

Moss are any good?</span></p>

style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">My
high torque starter stopped operating. Determined
it is the solenoid, so I will be removing it the
starter for a bench test. Meanwhile, we
discovered an interesting electrical situation.
When trying to start the car the starter would
short out and the electrical system would
completely shut down. In checking the battery
connection, it was discovered disconnecting and
reconnecting the ground from the battery the
electrical system became live. There must be a
GFI type of device in the wires to and from the
ignition switch. I doubt it was installed at the
factory, maybe by the restorer? What am I looking
for under the dash? It is a great idea, however I
want to know what is it and where it is located.</span></p>
