Guys, It really is not the solenoid, That COULD be part of the problem But the starter is THE problem...GM built the car the way it should be.....I tried running a kill switch to the coil so there would be no spark when heat sunk and the car actually turned over rather quick then as it was turning over I turned the switch on and it fired right up, That was many years ago..Now I just run the car with a good quaility starter and no problems....There again, What works for you is great.
