Ground wire from fender to firewall cooked.

Jacked the back of the car up and jack stand. Put my fat head under there to check out the wires on the firewall and the wires under the coil and Duraspark. So I spoted a cooked wire and tried to trace it. It went from the fenderwell down around the canister to the firewall. So ground from fender to firewall?  Plus it got smoked? This is what smoked when I tried to start it once a week or so ago. I thought it was something else but its this ground. Why? I think it was rubbing on the starter cylinder and wore down and zap.  So the ground is shot maybe its the cause of me horrible running at the moment.

Shopping for a replacement. NAPA is first try. I also bought a new coil (twice).  Freaking autozone is not what it use to be.
