Dave, et Listers,

The hydraulic clutch line is what provides the ground return to the engine
block if the ground strap is not making a good connection. Works fine until
you hit the starter which tries to put about 100A through it and turns it
red hot. Probably not real good for the hydraulic fluid inside and also
makes the starter run a little anemic.

Mean Mr. Green is itching for you to take him for another spin Dave. ITMT,
how's the Simpson Porshe/Chevy behaving?


Best regards

Bob
