Hey guys, i jsut got the 89 maro back from the local shop. Well the wire from the starter to the steering column had burned apart. WEll i got a few questions for u all. K i bought the camaro about 3 months ago. It has a new gm crate engine in it and it is carbed. The guy who put it in gutted out the computer and spliced wires together. Its not rigged or nuttin and the guys at the local shop say it was done good. Its jsut that when summer rolls around up here in chicago, they say i might have big problems with the wires corroding and/or buring and it can get real expensive. So my question is what do i do about this? Do i change the car over to tpi w/ a new harness and stuf(real expensive and i dont know how t do it so i want to avoid that if possible) or put a cowl hood on or sumthing to reduce the heat. Well i odnt even know if that will work it already has a fan in it too(one he put it and hell i dont even know if/ or how to work it) So if u guts could help i would forever be in debt to u thanks adios.

 

Underhood temperatures are probably inconsequential when considering electrical resistance of any wiring harness connection. You need to identify any problems in the wire harness and repair them. The extra air temperature won't make the situation any better, but don't count on cooler air that is now residing in the Windy City to prevent any electrical problems or fires you may experience now.
