Both look nice But I liked this and the way you kept the knobs

I'll secure some period correct radio knobs and mount magnets on them if that would make you sleep better at night?

My guess is a bad battery ---- and or a starter that is getting heat soaked -- but it wouldn't be heat soak if you can't start it 3 or 4 times COLD... right in a row. ANY good battery should be able to start a car several times without fail.

Load test performed, 685 amps cranking..........."there's nothing wrong with this battery."

So is it a wiring issue as in insufficient ground or could I have abused the new Powermaster mini-starters solenoid during my attempting to fire the motor circus?

You're guess is as good as anyones.... Grounds are critical - and if you think you have that done properly... then I'd pull the starter and take it and get it tested. Doesn't take long to pull one... Oh wait... that's at my house with the lift! Well... jack 'er up and get busy!

I'll check the voltage drops in the leads and go from there.

FWIW - Your guesses appear to be better edumakated than mine on the average.

You'll need to check voltage drop --- AND resistance (Ohms). High resistance would lead me to check connections for corrosion... tight secured terminals... etc. Then if that all looked good then I'd be yarding the starter for a load test on it.

Now --- you may also have an issue at the ignition switch / wiring to it/to starter. So after you've cranked it 3 times or so --- I'd be feeling for heat in any of the wires out of that switch. Just gently put your hand around the bundle and see if there's a hot one... 'Cause the switch could be breaking down --- or a corrosion issue or connector that's loose etc. Might carry the load once -- then heat up and go apoplectic.

I must have missed how the sifter leak got fixed. Can you go over that again?
