I'm still realatively new here so forgive me if this sounds foolish but why didn't you replace the positive battery cable? It sounds to me like the cable that supplies the starter with the current needed to turn the motor over may have internal corrosion or a bad connection?

We replaced the negative because it is a standard part you can buy off of the shelf from any parts store in USA and I had one laying around.

We didn't replace the + cable because it is not a part that you can get off of the shelf at any parts store in USA. the + cable also includes the 8 or 10 gage wires that connect the battery to the starter relay and the other wire that connects the relay to the starter in addition to the huge one that goes down to the starter.

I told him to undo the aftermarket clamp that you get to replace the connection to the battery and clean them up with a wire brush as good as he can and put it back together. He did and it didn't fix the problem.

You are right the cable does look like it has seen better days and we should get a new one and that may fix or help the problem. We will have to call Year One or Paddock to get a repro. It will probably take a week or so to get here. We just picked up the car Saturday and tried to do what we could right away with the parts we already had to see if that would work.

Thanks for the replies. We appreciate the help and will let you know what we find.

If anyone else has any ideas, please post them. Too much info is much better than not enough.
