Thanks for all the help guys.

So here is what we did this morning.

I took the car out to get it hot (never had issues with a cold start). It was in the 90's here today, so I had it up to 205 after about 45 minutes. Came back, turned it off, let it sit for a minute. And........ It Started Right Up!

We kept trying, but it wouldn't reproduce. Regardless, we cleaned up the main ground connections, and remounted the starter, reconnected all the cables, cleaned up the battery mounts as well. Making sure everything was flush, and tight. We checked the fuse box, no problems there. Followed the electrical lines to see if any problems there.

We must have started the car 50 times during this whole time. Never had an issue at all. So, honestly, I don't know if what we did solved it or not, and won't know until it does it again, or doesn't haha!

The car has a console shifter, but the column itself is for a column shifted car. We played around with this, and the shifter to see if maybe it was a neutral safety switch problem. But nothing, started fine no matter what we did with the column or console shifter.

So, I appreciate all the help, we went through alot of your suggestions, and still have a checklist to run through if it actually does this again.

Thanks,
Tim
