starter "clicks"
lately when I start up my 85, the starter "click" one time.....starts ok on the second try....the other day it clicked several times before she went...Had changed the transmission cable awhile ago and I was thinking maybe it wasn't going into park all the way, now I'm not sure....checked the connections, all seems tight.....any suggestions......thinking it's time to order that gear reduction starter and replace the existing beast of a starter I have....assuming that's the problem....just looking for some input.....thanks....

take a look at the video on this website. I bought new contacts for my starter after it developed symptoms like yours. It’s not a tough job.
Good luck

Time to diagnose. Take the thing out and have it brought to a reputable builder and tested and torn apart. If Autozone tests it bad, it is bad. I'd still take it to a shop and have it torn down and seen if it is bad or really good. If it is good, refresh some of the possible parts. If it is good, you need to look elsewhere for the problem.
