Thanks to all for help with removal of starter have new starter mounted......new problems have arisen, turns out the car will sometimes start and sometimes won't so i changed the ignition still same problem i suspect electrical problem somewhere in fuse and/or computer...also have a serious oil leak one the steel mesh hose connected to like the radiator....anyone know where i can get a replacement

The oil leak sounds like it's in the line to the oil cooler. Very common failure in a V8. Is the leak right at the point the line connects to the cooler? Sometimes it's as simple as the O-ring seal needing replacement. I have one where the line itself leaked just back from the connection. Bought a used replacement for lines and cooler.

On the no-start circumstance, is it that the starter turns the engine over but the engine doesn't start, or is it that the starter sometimes doesn't turn the engine at all?

I probably have the line, came with a spare cooler I bought. Let me know which one, or a picture may be best.

seems to be leaking near the point where it connects to oil cooler.....and on the starting problem when i turn on the key and crank there's all kinds of clicking sounds from the fuse or computer under the passenger foot area, i have to keep trying to crank....won't respond for like first 6 or so times then it will crank and start up and run fine
