last night i took apart the bulkhead, cleaned out all the old grease, sanded some corrosion off of the terminals (there wasn't much there), and put it all back together. i picked up an additional .4V at the s terminal from doing that, but still, the starter did nothing. so, to continue the proccess of elimination, i installed a ground from the starter to the frame (made out of some 4 guage wire i had kicking around), and so far, it works! such a simple solution....but because my old starter worked fine without a ground wire, i just didn`t consider that as being an issue. thanks again for you input guys.
of course, all this rushing around to figure this out so i can finally get to the track this weekend, and the forecast shows rain all day friday and saturday!! :lol:
