After that it cranked over nice and fast! Had to go to work so didn't have much time to fool with it but maybe it wasn't a ground issue after all- just bad connections at the switch. Time will tell! BTW I found one of those starter brackets so plan to clean it up and install it.
Again,my thanks to all of you. Looking forward to a test drive tonight!

You might want to find a Saturday and go back through all of your grounds and starter switch connections and coat them with some form of corrosion inhibitor for electrical connections....There is a long running debate here on the barn about what is best....with that said I use Di-electric grease and has worked really well for me but whatever you land on will keep all those connections clean and fresh and working properly!!!
