then it's the hots that power the car that come off the starter .
they have fusible links and it it sparks good enough to the ground , they will short out like there supposed to , then nothing will power up .
had a bud pinch his in between bell housing and block , drove fine for about a hour before it caught fire .

did the lugs in starter unscrew enough for the wire end to ground out ?
