These have never been more than "barely adequate." What I mean by that is that you are doing nothing wrong, it is the factory design that is crap. In other words you need a better/ larger body-to engine/ battery ground. A good way to do this is to buy a no4 starter cable, IE eyelet to eyelet cable about a foot-foot and a half long. Look at the front of the pass. side head. The same bolt holes are on the REAR of the driver's head. Bolt the cable to the rear of the head with a short bolt, and to the body a good ground point. "One such" is one of the master cylinder studs. That will give you a really good path from engine/ battery to body. The body, remember, is entirely welded. So from there to say, the tail lights, the entire body will be a good ground connection.
