Fixing the wire = good
Leaking gas = bad
Better to find that problem in the garage though....

At least you're closer to driving now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

If your high beams are causing a problem, check the condition of the 4 red wires and their connectors at the battery positive post. Replace as necessary.

As mentioned before, Check the ground wire for the seat belt relay under the passenger seat. Brown wire grounds to body spade, clean it. Just do it! if corroded car will not start or turnover. With everything else you have done, I would think about replacing the ignition switch, if you have never done it also.
Good luck

Tom, thanks for the tip about the high beam,
I always wondered what they were for, the red wires.
anyhow, while in quest to check and clean and possibly remove anything,
to make sure everything good, I re locate the four red wires that was bolted to a little wire,coming off the battery clamp, (inside of clamp, with big wire)
took a bit a time, but got then to go over the bolt that hold the clamp down,
that's a good connection! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

so I double check Tom tip, fire up Beauty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

and test all the lights, including highbeam ,with flashers on,
and driving lights

Everything works great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I'm up for SS lines and have some decent rubber hose on her now,

but that's where the leak came from, last 1/2 inch of hose, very hard ,cracked

A little history about Beauty,
she's fairly restored, built for Track,
she's one of four, Stock category, (in Colorado)
for SCCA racing.

so on that note, I assumed everything is good and safe,
but rubber get old,
sometime the motor gets hot after a LONG trip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Keeps the tips coming, I learned a thing or two.
on the seat belt wires. It's removed. (weight)LOL
