Re: start problem

I agree that if starter turns with no hesitation and doesn't sound like it's struggling it's not the ground cable that's keeping it from starting. You need to double check the solenoid wiring and check the voltage to the coil or HEI distributor. After that check the spark plug to see if spark getting to it.

I will add that the exhaust manifold was not a good place to have the ground cable going to.
