It doesn't look like the braided strap attached to the top of the transaxle has ever been replaced on my car. I thought about removing it, cleaning and reinstalling. Will anything bad happen if I just leave it alone, as-is? Will the car start any quicker if it is replaced? Right now it struggles, spins slowly, then will catch and fire up.
Car is '74 1.8. Thx in advance for the advice. EJP914 |

What is your time worth? A lot of people post questions looking for permission to cheap out. This is probably one of them. Bad grounds are the cause for a lot of small and large electrical problems.. How much is a new ground strap?
