Thanks to all who replied. Here's what I've done so far. I removed the ground wire and took off the terminal and cleaned it up, I was reading 0 ohms on the meter so I put it back on. Someone else suggested checking the voltage at the starter and something always on in the fusebox. I had 10 vdc at the starter and 6.4 vdc at the fusebox. I put in a fresh battery and it started right up. I haven't added a second ground yet but it a good idea.
I think there may be another problem. Possibly the voltage regulator. With the car running I was checking the battery voltage and it was 26.5 vdc, as I held the meter it climbed to almost 29 vdc. I thought this was wrong but I checked the voltage on my 2003 Monte Carlo and read around 22.4 vdc and it climbed to almost 27vdc. Any ideas. Thanks for the other advice I'm sure it helped.
If the voltage regulator is not internal what does the one on the firewall look like? Does it have four terminals on top of each other like an "I" next to the A/C unit? Thanks for any added assistance. Dave
ps. It's a 350 w/A/C. it has idiot lights, not over concerned with "originality".
