[QUOTE="BeFukedifIcare, post: 1688557, member: 647457"] Battery #1 (get it load tested) It may turn on the lights but that ain't the starter, is it? It may be new and it still may be a junk battery. Starter solenoid #2 or check to be sure all the wires are connected to it and that means crawling under the car and have a physical look.. A small black or green wire (which comes from the ignition switch) needs to be connected to a tang right there on the starter solenoid. Distributor is not the problem otherwise the car would not run(which it does). You are off by the 5%. It is either 1 or 2. Nothing else. And the factory wiring is strong enough. Remember, it is 30+ years old and connectors made out of brass corrode (turn green) over time and may need a bit of sandpaper to make them work like new again. Nothing more is needed. [/QUOTE]
