I'll make sure to check the body ground tomorrow.. However, IIRC, it is grounded to the back of the head in this case.. I can't recall unhooking anything when I dropped the tranny. BOTH batteries are grounded directly to the engine block, and no trouble starting, so I am thinking they're ok.. However, when I get the money I'm gonna treat the old girl to all new battery cables, just for good measure (some of the insulation is getting kinda bad.. I'm sure they're all original cables)
I know I have a ground strap running from a battery to one of the inner fenders, as I had a ground issue (I thought) once before, but I found a hidden wire had a bare spot where it runs to the top of the headache rack, and I never removed the "extra" ground.
It was pretty close to full load (shy the blower motor running) when I did the voltage check this evening..
I didn't take the consideration of a sticky brush when I was thinking of it earlier.. Is there a "simple" way to rule that out?
