Thanks Mike I never seen David=E2=80=99s comment.  Am going to replace =
the ground strap to the engine. My friend and my brother both having 35 =
years as mechanics suggested it. I did clean it  but, After all it is 55 =
years young.  Will keep you all informed.

I think David is absolutely correct.=20

I would suggest taking the ground cable off the battery then use a =
battery jumper (booster) cable between the battery terminal and a good =
ground, something like a bumper mount, then try the starter.

Bad connection at one of the battery cables or battery switch.=20

Turn on the headlights and leave them on for about 15 minutes. Then go =
around and touch the battery and ground cable connections. You will find =
one that is warm.  Voila there is your bad connection.=20

Listeners:

You may recall my comments about the High Torque starter which would go =
zap and cause the entire electrical system to go dead.  My two friends =
are much more knowledgeable than I and could not figure out why.   =
Eventually I discovered if you take off the battery ground and leave it =
off for a few minutes, then reconnect, viola the electrical system comes =
alive again. The fuel pump hums, the lights go on, the horn blows.  =
Unfortunately, when you engage the starter zap goes the starter. We took =
the starter off the car and bench tested it. We tested the positive =
cable from the battery solenoid, the ground, all connections and so on. =
Same problem.

=20

=20

I got a new starter from WOSP and installed it.  Same problem.  The =
noise is always in the starter.

=20

We are stumped IDEAS??
