RE: battery problem (not)
Many times a battery cable which has corroded over the years will take extra juice to burn it's way through the dirty wire. At @25$ for a pair of new cables, it's worth the effort. A vehicle that age probably needs new ones, and it's cheap insurance from getting stuck in your driveway on a cold winter morning.
