Check your motors ground strap, would seem you might have a very resistive/bad ground.

Both. Grounds are very important in any electrical circuit. also make sure teh facing recess for teh starter is clean as this is the way the starter gets ground.

Ok, couple of this... Pat and J&S, he is runnign a 351 FRAUD motor, so if he actually got the VS starter in there then the only good bit would be the starter...

This coming from someone who raves about Hillman's and Galants...

Hmmm, maybe if someone took the time and looked back at history they might realise why...?

Cheers
