More on electricity in the automobile. The same friend has been working =
to get his classic Lagonda automobile in top operating condition and =
noticed that the starting was weak so he cleaned the cables contacts =
etc. Still not satisfactory, so he had the batteries checked with a =
load test. They were in good condition. Then he began to look at the =
ground strap. It was not what he expected, small diameter and screwed =
to the firewall. So he ran a large gauge copper wire directly to the =
engine and bolted the new ground wire directly to the frame. Voila, the =
engine turns over rapidly. Now he will consider reinstalling his =
Aluminum Radiator. We AH owners are fortunate to have a heavy ground =
strap from the engine to the frame, so our stray electric problems could =
be largely eliminated. However, it is good to check to see if it has a =
clean and secure connection to both sides thereby insuring constant flow =
of electricity. A weak flow can create a problem that you will attribute =
to a weak battery etc.

Next question to start a thread, what is a Lagonda British Car for the =
next trivia question?
I never heard of it until Hermann bought one and brought it to the U.S. =
Probably, it is the only one in North America!

Interesting. In all the research and comments I read before buying the =
radiator I never heard about rapid distruction. Only about how great =
they were. Was planning to keep my oem unit. Now convinced I should.
Thanks all.

Much and all as that sounds like a good theory I am having difficulty =
with the logic.=20
A starter won't work if an engine isn't adequately grounded and a ground =
of sufficient size to operate a starter will definitely be big enough to =
eliminate any EMF difference between the engine and the chassis.=20
I've had an aluminum radiator corrode to worthlessness after only 3 =
years, with corrosion inhibitors in the coolant, and have yet to hear a =
realistic explanation for why it happened.=20
