Everything checked out . Replaced negative ground cable end . No life at starter . Pulled it out (what a pain) . Took it down for core charge and tested it there , worked like a champ . Took new starter home . It was the battery end of positive battery cable . It looked good and had enough flow to run everything but the starter . BTW , the easiest way to get to the upper , inside bolt ( with a nit on back ) was to remove the motor mount . Someone had installed the ground cable on the upper bolt which made getting a wrench on it impossible .
