Yeah, this car has a history of bad grounds (hence the carb: good ole fasion springs and vacuum diaphrams, no computers here. I find it funny that I'm so anti computer when I'm a programmer). It should be enough that there is a negative cable from the battery in the trunk (cobra battery, man... this thing can jumpstart a schoolbus(from experience)) directly to the cylinder head, right? Thats an awful lot of ground. I've never heard of a starter getting heatsoaked, but I'll wrap it up and see what happens.

Just wanted to make sure that this wasnt a function of some strange residual cylinder pressure of any kind

thanks guys!
