Thanks, but I finally got the car working. I took a drill to the inside of each of the "O" connectors that I could find to grind out any corrosion and expose fresh metal to the places they connect to bolts/posts. Now it is starting up every time right away! I hope that fixes it.

However, I still cannot find the two engine to chassis grounds referred to above. I looked all around the thermostat but could not find any wires running from around there to the body. Does somebody have a picture of its location? I could find the grounds for the head lights and for the alternator, but nothing from engine to chassis. Now I just have to figure out why my speedo is sitting at 10mph when I am stopped at a stoplight... I just need to drop in the VE and be done with this engine!
Thanks everybody for the help on this!
