I am jumping in at the end of this thread so I apologize if this has been covered already. Does the ground strap get hot
when the engine is cranking over, albeit slowly? I once had a brand new ground strap, that looked completely normal, have some internal flaw that caused cranking issues. During the troubleshooting of the slow cranking issue I leaned on it and it was hot. I replaced the ground strap and the car immediately turned over at regular speed and started. From the pictures, your ground strap could be suspect. I spent hours trying to figure out the problem which turned out to be cheap and easy to solve. I still have that ground strap which I have used at tech sessions to show that new parts are not always good parts.
