I had 18 gauge wire on there. Now I have 16. I tried to get 14 on there and it was too much wire. It would all mash out from under the nut as I tightened it. I'll see what happens tomorrow.
I also replaced the p/s belt and it's a miracle how much easier it is to parallel park now.

He said that I could put a voltmeter across the wire going to my starter solenoid and if there is a voltage drop across the wire under load, I need a heavier gauge wire. He also said that heat creates resistance, which is why it happens when it's hot. I don't have a voltmeter but he said it couldn't hurt to try going up a gauge in the wire I'm using. He said it sounded to him like it could easily solve the problem. We'll see. John Nasta
