I am really stumped by this and I was wondering if anyone might have an idea
what is going on.  I have an old E-type that was flooded several years ago 
nd
I am slowly restoring it.
I am at the point where I wanted to connect a new battery and obviously one
needs to be cautious when this is done.  I tried to connect the ground
terminal first (it is negative ground) before I connected the + terminal.
To my surprise, there were sparks when I connected the negative terminal to
the ground.  I checked and there is nothing connecting the positive terminal
so I do not have any idea what could be causing the completed circuit.  Any
ideas?
