The battery has 910ca and 720 cca, is it possible the starter has bad spots in the windings ? Let me add the motor is a new rebuild and I have rechecked to make sure I do not have the distribuor out 180. can anyone give me some suggestions ?
if it drags after it gets hot, then it could be your base timing. if it does it cold or hot sounds like the starter or bat. when does it drag?
