Well I checked the starter and thought for sure i had found the
problem. The solenoid screws had fallen out and the short cable going
from the solenoid to the starter was over halfway broken and frayed.
figured this was the problem, it wasn't allowing enough amperage to
get to the starter. put a new starter on it this morning, same
problem. it actually sounds worse. i checked the ground going from the
battery to the alternator bracket, it didn't seem like a decent ground
so a ran an additional cable from the intake manifold to the
alternator mt. bracket. no difference. i have .1 ohms from the starter
to the intake manifold . running out of ideas
