83 Avanti starting issue

[A83]

Battery reads 100% charged but 2 issues 

 

First issue is sometimes I turn the key and it is absolutely dead. Then moments later I can start it. 

Second issue is when it does turnover sometimes I get a shrill type sound of two pieces of metal rubbing together right before it starts. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you everyone.

Check all the connections for tightness and corrosion…both hot lead and ground.  It may require disconnecting everything…cleaning it all and reconnecting everything tight.  You might also do a starter draw test and see how many amps the starter is drawing.

The noise may be the starter bolts have loosened and a shim is loose or gone…BTDT.  The starter itself may be dry and needing rebuilding or replacing.
