Biohazard

I do believe its a ground issue based on what I've got on hand. Since the ONLY ground I had was a rotten cable from battery to cyl head - I think that is the weak link in my circuit. I did have the body ground connected at the rad support but it seems to me that this is more for the benefit of the lights up front. Start relay is new, positive leads are new. I'm surprised that it won't turn the starter since, using ALL crappy old cables, it started just fine when I bought it. Finding an 18ish inch neg cable with the extra little dingle wire is proving to be a task. I may just run my own using ring terminals and some robust, black wire.
