Boy, do I feel stupid.
The ground strap goes from the negative pole to a
clamp that attaches the frame and then goes on to bell
housing.
Guess what - I didn't re-attach the strap to the frame
when I removed the battery recently to work on the
car. I thought the frame clamp was there simply to
keep it out of the way.
Boy what a maroon.
Thanks for all your help.
PS - Steve, we are neighbors. I'll drop you a line
separately.
