Ok i changed the starter and starter solenoid and had the car with good jump wires to a F-250 truck and i am still only getting a clicking sound as if the starter was bad. And most of the times after the click all the lights go out as if the battery died and i have to take the wires off and and put them back on and then everything goes back to normal and same thing happens again after trying to start it. I was told it might be a bad ground but i have no idea where to start looking. Visually it all looks fine to me.

It is a carbed 85 5.0 notch.

Any and all help/opinions/advice will be greatly Appreciated.

make sure the engine is grounded good to the frame

yea bad ground, or bad wires or bad connectors

at least it tells you that your starter relay is good

Don't overlook the battery connections. I have those replacement cable ends on mine and had issues twice now with the car not starting because of a bad connection. I know I should get new cables but I can't bring myself to spend the money on oem replacemrnts. When I put the batt in the trunk, I'll be using terminal ends on the cable that can be bolted to the battery kind of like marine style.
