Yes, but what about the timing zac, maybe we should check it again? :)

A very good chance of this! If the starter is sapping mega current it will
drop the voltage that much- by process of elimination (what else engages
when you crank? the coil? Errol said he had tested it though) it must be the
starter...... unless anybody else has any clues
I dropped the Z starter into that auto electrician on Belair road, but they
had two guys sick and 8 cars in the shop so I doubt I'll hear from them
today- what a pisser! Don't like our chances of making the cruise!
