That wire has to flex to allow the points plate to rotate. So long as all the strands are still intact don't worry about it. Kelvin. /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at

The wire only has to pass 12 volts as it is part of the "Low Tension" side of the ignition. As Kelvin mentioned, it needs to flex with the plate as it rotates from mechanical + vacuum advance. For a

This wire is essential, whether you have points or an Ignitor. Since the plate the points mount to is movable, the ground connection would be intermittent without the "earth lead". If you replace it,
