I have had, long in the past, a non-cranking starter that I finally traced
down to a broken ground strap -- can't remember where it was, exactly, probably
something like a tranny to chassis or engine to chassis tho. One of the copper
wovenwire straps.
  All ground straps need to be in place, they aren't they because the factory
liked spending an extra $1.00 on each car.
