Remote controlled battery disconnect

[john r. lebetski]

If you put the disconnect in the negative side main cable, then high current COULD be carried by the thin body battery ground and to engine via woven
straps. In that case the safety device would be the cause of the fire event with the thin battery wire burning.

Tongue in cheek. I know, but you also have to study everything the PO may have changed from stock so no surprises. I’m always thankful mine is
still the way it left Pontiac. The only mess was in the Onan zone but removing the unit and redoing all that has made it 100% reliable. I just
think if everything is correct, then adding more stuff is not needed, at least that approach has worked for me with my 60s-70s GM vehicles.

With my old vehicles, I'm usually tempted to leave them alone...as long as the improvement is well worth the time and trouble. Mounting 12" Camaro rotors and aluminum finned rear Buick drums on my 1983 Malibu wagon for example. It didn't cost much more than the replacement standard parts would have cost and certainly improved the braking.
