No suitable connector in my books. Checked A/C Delco and Motorcraft. All the ones they show are to low of a amp rating.

Thanks for your help Saturday and thanks for looking.
So it's bone yard or solder I guess. I'm trying to rememeber this place near buena park which handles all kinds of custom wiring and connectors. I'll also hit up Zac at Speed Scene Wiring to see what he's got.
BTW, what kind of amps we talking here?

I had this exact issue. After screwing around with the multimeter, wasting a good amount of time, I discovered the negative battery cable connector was corroded, and it wasn't grounding sufficiently for the amperage draw when you crank the starter.
Do your lights go dim when you turn the key, trying to crank it?

Haven't checked that. The reason we think it's right at the connector is that when we take it out of the equation, the starter has 0% trouble triggering.

At the starter connector? Sure it's not the fusible links?

No. Harness in the engine bay. Big old connector spliced from the main harness to a sub harness including the line to the solenoid on the starter.

From ls1z28, who did most of the real swap and harness work.

The place you are looking for is M&H electric in santa fe springs. It would be the starter jumper harness that you are looking for.

M&H only makes and sells harnesses not connectors.
So I went to J&D and while I was able to locate used male and female connectors from the parts bin and bone yard, they wanted $80 for the pair. Balls to that, so I called up Zac at Speed Scene Wiring in TX. They're the ones who made my custom harness. He's pretty sure he has them new and will check on Monday after I send him some pics. Shipped $25-35 for the pair. That's more reasonable!

Supply and demand you would pay it if it was your daily driver and you needed it to get to work. But since you don't drive it every day you can save your self some coin and get it from Texas. Good deal hope it fixes your problem. If not try the big 3...
