After finding and fixing a mis-grounded negative battery cablebThe PO had it
mounted to the aluminum smog pump bracket. OMG! I have been able to get
the starter to turn the motor just a littlebthe fan is making about half a
turn and there is noise coming from the starterbnot a clicking just a kind
of like a slight groan (??I thnk...it is hard to describe--??). I have not
kept trying to get the motor to turn over as I have seen a wisp of smoke
coming up between the carbs. This must be coming from the starter I have to
assume.
Is my starter shot? Can they be tested?
This is a 70 2000 by the way. If I reposition the jack stand I can get under
the car better to see and work on the starter.
Thanks

Tim,
I think you can put the car on jack stands, remove the front left wheel and
you should be able to get to the starter.

P.S. I removed all of the hardware from the bumper and will bring them along
on Friday. I had to cut off the two brackets with my torch because the
welded nuts broke loose when I tried to unscrew the bolts.

How do you get to the starter? Is from underneath the only way? I don't know
that I can get my hand to it.
Will the carbs have to be removed if I cannot get to it from under neath?
