Old cars like ours, it's just about protecting the ECU from an electrical surge within the circuitry.. so I'm building a grounded bi-metallic box out of aluminum and copper to put it in. Plus probably some grounded copper/aluminum rings around parts of the harness to pick up some of the enduced current back to the battery, kind of like a noise filter.

Shouldn't have to be very heavy gauge stuff though, and car batteries are meant to absorb voltage spikes as much as much as start your car.
