I'm not real clear on what you're saying, but check ALL of your connections. I just fixed a slow-crank problem by cleaning my negative connections. Cranks much better and faster now.

Make sure your connections are correct on your starter. I had this issue too because I didn't check my connection immediately on the starter.

 

Is there a starter lockout on the auto shifter, on the 85's?

 

Auto transmissions have an inhibitor switch. There were two wires going to the front, top of the auto transmission. I believe they are Black/yellow and Black/white. Connect these together, starter should get power.

 

Bingo.

I was about to go look that up.

 

That'd be the "start lockout" I was mumbling about. Makes sure the car is out of gear before starting.

 

well i hooked those two wires together and still nothing
