I have a question friends.

I need to splice in the end of a new wiring harness for my distributor. Everything is fine until I get to the point where I am down to 2 wires.

The last 2 wires are inside a sheath that has a really thin foil rapped around the 2 wires, and a third bare wire. This sheath ends about 3 inches before the harness (its all wrapped up) and all that comes out is the 2 normal wires

How the hell do I go about splicing THAT in? I can provide lots of pics of the harness if you would like.

I had the split second idea of just using the bottom 3 inches of each harness to splice together, but that leaves me next to no room for error or work
