440 with 4 barrel carb issue HELP

I would hesitate before blaming it on ethanol. The US fuel supply has had ethanol in it since the 70's. Its not new, only the politics have changed. I've never had access to "pure gas" and have never had any fuel issues.

Do a bit of reading.

Ethanol Fuel History.

Yes ethanol has been around for a while but it hasn't been in our pump gas at 10% or more until recent history.

I would not run that car anymore until you get the wiring issue figured out. What else did you do with the two wires that were melted together after you pulled them apart? What 2 wires were they? Fire extinguisher handy in the car and where you work on it?

Taped them up and moved them away from each other. I do have one handy.
