That's an under statement, poor quality control at the factory

Sorry, but after 37 years how can you state, unequivocally, that the pinhole was in that insulation from the factory?? Do you have some type of forensic evidence that ties down the date of the penetration? I know that over the years I've poked holes in a bunch of wires chasing current, so I guess that there are a bunch of cars out there with "...factory flaws..." and "...poor quality control...", even though the holes were poked by yours truly. As I said before, you found it, you fixed it, good job, but don't blame GM. Who knows what jack leg mechanic or electrician poked that hole, and at what point in time. Really???
