Under the hood right side aft their is a connection for the wireing harnes, make sure its clean and secure.

This happened to me some time ago, mine was coroded and loose. Cleaned and secured it.

No more problems.

This happened to my '81 once. I removed and cleaned the wiring connections at the starter and the ground cable at the frame and the problem was solved.
