well almost a fire. I went to pick up the tiger from the upholstery shop
where I had the top put on. it sure looked nice. in the way home I was
following my girlfriend in my firebird when smoke filled the car and the
engine had died. I coasted to the side and grabbed my fire extinguisher from
behind the passenger seat. I jumped out of the car and raised the hood but
no smoke or fire. I quickly opened the trunk and found the battery cables
smoldering. of course I did not have any tools so I picked up a handy brick
from a flower bed and beat the negative cable off before any real damage was
done. it turns out that the pos cable had grounded to the bellhousing. I
managed to get the cable out of the way and limp her home. now I know I did
not run the positive cable correctly so what is the correct path for the pos
cable? and how do I fold my new soft top?
thanks
Chris in Hawaii.
