[SilverStreak] Newbie electrical ground question

["Bev Harris" <zia@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been reading messages, and I'm hoping you folks can help.  We picked 
up our "new-to-us"  '64 SS 19' Saber.  The tail lights were acting wacko and 
after researching on the web, I have finally figured out that the left tail light is 
not grounded.  The ground wire coming out at the fixture doesn't look bad 
(there are 2 wires, one green and one black; since the black one is the 
ground on the right side, I assume the black is the ground on the left side).  I 
peeled back a little bit of the insulation on the black wire in "front" of the 
crimped connector that creates the splice to the light fixture hoping maybe 
the splice was bad and I'd find a ground connection, but I didn't.   I'd like to 
ground it, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it without tearing 
into the shell.

Any and all advice is welcome.
