I was nosing around under my '85 last night while waiting for the oil to
drain.  I cleaned up the  tranny ground strap.  I would like to add a
ground strap to the starter motor.  It looks like I could run a braid or
wire (10 AWG?) from the starter bolt to the chassis.  Is this the best
place?  Will this do any good?  The starter always cranks, but it seems
slow.  I know the pre-'86 starters were marginal.  Can I upgrade to an
'86+?  Some places list  all the manual transmission starters the same.
Would I need to upgrade the wiring?  If the ground strap doesn't help, the
next step would be a rebuild.  Is the (+) wire too small?
