Thanks for all the input. I agree with Mr. 'SRAPL311@aol.com' (sorry,
don't know your name) that if someone was going to put a new battery in the
car and didn't know anything about it, they may put the positive to ground
in this case. That red wire will probably be the VERY first thing I remove
as part of my restoration project.
Also, for people asking about photos, I'm working on a website that will
document the whole restoration process. I've commandeered my personal
domain name (something from my MMPORG days.. if you don't know what it is,
you probably don't want to know) and will be turning it into my Datsun
Roadster page. Address is www.madgrizzle.com and you can see a few
pictures of it (image size on pictures is large, sorry, I will work on
it). I will be adding more pictures in the coming day now that I spent my
whole weekend clearing the garage.
