1982 Corvette Starting Issue
Some of you know what i'm talking about.
The battery, starter and postiive battery cable are all brand new or pretty new. The alternator seems fine.
Basically when turning the key it makes a single click like the solonoid is switching on or trying to, but no current is going through. If I do it repeatedly, especially rapidly while swearing, eventually it'll catch and start right up. I haven't found anything about starter relays (after ignition switch, before solonoid) but maybe there is such a thing or it's something. Please to help as I'm getting a little pissed at this one.

Have you tried changing the solenoid on the starter?

It did the same thing before I changed to a brand new (not remanufactured) starter and solonoid. So unless it was kinda bad on the old and kinda bad on the brand new, that ain't it.

We need to test the voltage to the solenoid when it happens in crank position. I have seen a few cars that had voltage drop issues in the path to the starter.

Well with the foxes there is a box that controls all ignition functions, its only a $12 part so i would have no clue to really test it 
I guess the first start would be Paul's suggestion
