Starting problem
First signs were: my ground from block to firewall is getting red hot when i try to turn it over and my ground from my starter to my battery is hot as hell. and it would crank reallly slow ? but battery was fully charged.
i took off my starter and had it tested at advanced auto, its drawing the right amperage and everythings good with it. so i put it back on and hook everything up and wow watta ya know more problems
now it wont do anything when i turn the key and the battery was on charge all night
i have the black ground wire from my battery and another wire with two red wires hooked to the big terminal on the solenoid and a little red wire on the little terminal. i just put in a 3.23 rear end and i would really like to drive it

Re: Starting problem
There are no ground terminals on the starter, what do you actually have connected?
Where are the rest of the ground connections on your engine?

Re: Starting problem
There's more than just that one ground. Where are the rest of them?
