Weird. Upside down when I viewed the site from my phone too. Apple doesn't like me messing with it's photos I guess. Seems like it is fine when viewed from a PC or android device but Apple no likey.

Thanks, guys. I went to take the car for a drive the next day and it didn't start. A starter, positive battery cable and cable to the starter later, she fired up immediately. Also, the issue I have had since day one of the car hardly wanting to start after being driven then shut off, is cured.
It was a good day.

My 92 did the same thing, ground issue. I put on all new battery cables, found a good ground with the new cable and BINGO.... issue solved.

A little over one year has passed since that 'good day' when I replaced the starter. Shortly after, two more starters bit the dust. I ended up having the car towed to a friend who had done work on my '92. A new job, a move, various unforeseen circumstances with my friend and chasing down a vibration that popped up kept the car there for...8 months.

Now the good news. While 0327 was there, I took advantage of the opportunity and threw all the parts I could at it, including: water pump, all new hoses, various vacuum hoses, had the original radiator gone through, master cylinder, brake booster, clutch, flywheel, starter, alternator, wiring repairs, rebuilt steering shaft, rear bearings, power steering hose, rebuilt the original carb, full tune-up, and all fluids replaced.

I picked up the car last weekend and drove it the 30+ miles home at 60-65mph with zero issues. Here it is back in October loaded up.
