at the dashpod. My 123 240D has one, I ran an extra ground wire to a screw on a
metal part of the pod and its been cured for 4 years now. I put a disconnect in

I am not familiar with that term. Stall/spin accidents are very well known
and what causes them is well known and yet they happen.
The plug wire thing happened on my 1978 MGB. Last spring when I took

You can actually stall at any speed. It has more to do with wing
loading and flow separation. It is possible that the inside wing was
