THis is a COMMON problem that I've been facing since I "finished"my car last year. I have been all over the web forums talking to people about this. Here are the facts:

For the most part, only us guys with relocated batteries are having this problem.

Both guys with longtube and shortube headers have the problem

Bad grounds are usually in the mix

Starters usually won't help. I have a new one (and on the '93, the stock was a mini), and most everyone else I've talked to has the problem too, regardless of the starter.

Bottom line is that we are all facing this problem and should work together to find the solution. I am having an Auto-Electrical shop owner take a look at this problem Thursday, and I'll get back here and post results.

Do me a favor, find a digital voltmeter and check the voltage at the negative terminal. Mine was at -2.4, then it went down to -1.7 once I sanded the area where my battery is grounded, whic by the way, is at the gas tank strap (not a good place and plan on moving it)
