around and touch the battery and ground cable connections. You will find one

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:16pt;FONT-FAMILY:"Arial",sans-serif">You may recall my
comments about the High Torque starter which would go zap and cause the entire
electrical system to go dead. My two friends are much more knowledgeable
than I and could not figure out why. Eventually I discovered if you
take off the battery ground and leave it off for a few minutes, then reconnect,
viola the electrical system comes alive again. The fuel pump hums, the lights go
on, the horn blows. Unfortunately, when you engage the starter zap goes
the starter. We took the starter off the car and bench tested it. We tested the
positive cable from the battery solenoid, the ground, all connections and so on.
Same problem.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

from WOSP and installed it. Same problem. The noise is always in the
starter.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
