not sure what the question is, but if you lose ground to the dizzy the engine will die and wont restart. fix the ground to clean unrusted metal and cross your fingers...

Do you have some better pics of your 327 Joe?
Your distributor and a couple other things don't look right.

just found the picture of the wire on line
I think its for a v8 jeep.
But that is the wire I am having a problem with

Use a self tapping screw in place of that one.
