Burned bulk head connection

Ok. Thanks for the pictueres.

Now that I 've had dinner and reread what you wrote, I misunderstood - I thought there was more obviouse damage.

Good looking setup. Is that Year One /M&H harness ?
Maybe more important, what alternator? and is there anything else besided the electronic ignition added to the car?

I guess its not clear what your priority is for the car. If you don't want to have a wire through a grommet, then yes go through the bulkhead. I don't understand the connector question in that case. Just hard wire it because it will have to be cut no matter what if if ever does need servicing in the future.

I'll rework a diagram that's based my '67 Barracuda into a '69 and walk through what apparently happened.
