Electrical help!
I can't get my 1969 to start. I had the starter and starter wiring replaced because both were shot. Soon after, the lights and electrical would would work but when I turned the ignition the car went dead and wouldnt come back on. I reset the cables and the electrical came back on but cuts back off when i turn the ignition again. I took it back to the shop that replaced the starter, they charged the battery and it worked fine for a few weeks. Yesterday the same thing happened again. I put a new battery in it and it started fine all yesterday. This morning it is doing the same thing again. I took the battery out and charged it. When i put it back in and tried to start it, I got a spark at the positive terminal and the car goes dead until i reset the cables. I don't see anything wrong with the connections at the starter. Any ideas?

Thanks Big_G! There wasnt any corrosion on it, it just looked old so I put a new terminal on and it fired right up. You have no idea how much time and frustration you just saved me. I owe ya one! 
makes it all worthwhile when someone comes back with a big Thank You
