Battery leads look okay and intact, but need some advice on where
to start looking. Battery is known good.
The positive lead connects to a box (sorry) that looks
quite rusty but other than that, no leads.<<
In addition to checking your terminals and battery-to-solenoid connections for
corrosion, how about the ground strap? On Spitfires it is unsubstantial and
prone to corrosion, and/or even rust through? A bad ground strap also would
provide symptoms such as you describe ...
