Stainless braid is wonderful. The 12v+ wire going to the resistor before the coil on my 47 Ford (with 302 V8) did the same thing, somehow the wire managed to get caught up in some braiding I had on the fuel line and what a show that produced not to mention seconds away from a fire (12v finding its ground on a fuel line) not good. I got rid of the rest of the flashy braiding I had on the rest of the engine hoses soon after. The braiding on the wires I believe is for supression purposes....TargaEuro
