Sounds like to me a weak battery, however you mentioned replacing it with a new one.

I used to have problems with the reman starters from autozone and the like for a long time, until I had it a starter rebuilt from a local business. Have not had any more issues with starters close to 10 years now.

Not sure how far Denton is from your location.

I also second getting an insulating gasket/ non heat conducting base for your edelbrock carb. I had to do the same for my edelbrock carb on my old motor.
