I know, right? The connections are good, though. I've gone through and checked ground and battery connections recently, troubleshooting other issues. (My radio works now. That was a nice fringe benefit) The battery is also only a few months old, so there is zero corrosion. Everything is tight. It's just very bizarre to me. But I'll take it. My car is running again, and I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Car's still running fine. Lots of fun! It did give me a scare just after it started running again, though. It would cut out, like it had hit the fuel cut off, then start running again as if everything was fine. I thought about when it was happening, searched, and found that most likely my fuel baffle has come loose. As long as the tank is mostly full, it doesn't happen. Easy fix, written up several times. A Lucas oil bottle and some stainless steel wire. 😁
