Fix that bad ground strap, it would be OK if it were on the block and bolted to the body
but that's too much trouble, just add a strap from the battery to the body, and make
sure the contact points are clean and not rusted, I have seen good looking mount points
that were not making contact, and strange things happen when the grounds are bad, this
goes for the little ones in the wiring harness in the front and back, I had one that when I
hit the turn signal, the wipers would turn on
I thought it was the multi switch..........
nope, just a bad ground in the front under a 10mm bolt, and it had never been off, but still
caused this strange behavior.
Good Luck
