6 or 7 years ago I put a Pertonix on my 70. In studying up on it, someone here suggested a dedicated ground wire from the alternator to the battery. I've never had any trouble with having something too well grounded, so I did. There was a short bolt on the back of the alternator, so I ran a wire from it to - on battery. Everything's worked fine for these years, but . . .I noticed the other day that in places the ground wire shows insulation distress suggestive of an overload of some sort. Didn't burn it off anywhere, but melted a bit in places here and there with no heat source nearby. Is something wrong here?
