The car: '85 245 n/a. wth 413.201 miles

Backstory: squealing belts, could see the alt was out of alignment. Removed the alt and replaced the rubber bushings. Reconnected all wiring as it came apart.

*no battery, cranking, alternator issues prior to replacing the bushings*

Problem:

Reconnected the battery once alternator was reconnected. Started her up...or tried to.

Motor would turn over 1 cycle, then nothing. No clicking of the starter...just progressively a slow turn over of about a 1/4 of a rotation. Key to off...repeat....just a short "ugh" (sound of a weak attempt at the motor turning over)..

Jumped the car to start it. Waited about 5 min to attempt the start...started right up. Ran fine, no lights. Drove 10 miles to work, side roads and highway...no problems. Car sat in parking lot for an hour....went back out to drive it.....just a single "ugh".

Jumps armed it right up. Drive 2 1/2 hours on it....back roads and highways...no problems.


Back to the office just fine. 2 hours later, she needed a jump to get home.


When i got home I checked the battery connections...replaced the clamp bolts with stainless to make sure I had a good, tight connection.

Checked voltage: 14.65

Turn key: "ugh, ugh" nothing

Connected battery charger...just in case....left overnight on a 2amp charge....this morning...a single "ugh"

What am I missing....battery checks out voltage-wise, started works, alternator was working when removed.....

Help please.
