my ground wire corroded off and then I replaced it, but after starting the car I noticed that the ground wire starting getting hot. so I turned off the car and checked it out, couldn't find anything really wrong. when I tried to restart the car the motor would barely turn over and wouldn't start. any suggestions.

btw is was converted to an electric ingition of some sorts by the previous owner.

Sounds like a battery feed wire, not a ground. Does it read 12v when disconnected and the key "ON"?
