Are you guys familiar with the Powermaster 9000 starters? There are two fat connectors at the end of the solenoid. I assume that the other big connection at the end of the starter is for ground connection? (I didn't do the initial installation and assumed that I should be this way) Right now is the starter only grounded via the block. Could that be the problem?
My plans for today! Add groundstraps to the frame & firewall to a total of four All around the engine. Run a separate heavy gauge ground cable from the connection on the block to the starters second connection. (If that's what it's for?) Run a new super heavy gauge cable from the battery to the junction on the enginblock. Add a relay to control the starter rather than letting the Ignitionkey take the load!

If the battery is a Ford truck battery it will never work correctly. D.R.
