    sounds like a bad battery/connection/wire/solenoid to me.

    ya didn't reuse the L6 starter did ya, is starter KNOWN good??

    What part of mass ya in, got a cousin with a hot nova out there.
    good to see new ppl.

    try grounding your engine to the body or check the exzisting ground connection from engine to body i had that problem on my ford dumptruck.after 2 trips to the parts store thats what was wrong with that.

    good possibility that starter died, I reused a starter on my high perf 302. starter worked good on the dead 302, but died quickly under the load of a 10:1 mill

    Word

    thats the REALLY nice thing about mavs, ANY power and they HAUL. watch out though at 110-115 mine was FLOATING off the road. yes i know that was stupid. but fun. in South Dakota we've got LOTS of smooth open/straight/flat road. good choice on the disc conversion. speaking from experience. got a 5 lug rearend to go with 'em?

    ya can fit 225/60/15 on the back of that, back space is 3.5

    Side pipes, side pipes. ROCK! i always wanted those on my mav, how do they look? pics
