Welp, it was not just the battery. It tested out as weak, and it is a 36 month battery, and it was on month 40. So it was good to replace it. When I started the car, it was still rather sluggish. Fark.
So I just drove right to Autozone. The starter was a replacement and 10 years old and 74,000 miles on it. I bought the guaranteed for life starter 28 years or so. For several years they would just swap them out with a cheap rebuilt unit that did not last long. They finally wised up, and they handed me a brand new unit. 100% free, it did not cost me a dime. Just some royal pain in the butt labor. That starter is between 150 to 200 pounds, or it felt like it. It is a challenge to get it up against the engine, and then start a bolt. Phew. One dirty filthy project. Done and finished.
So new battery and starter. I should be good to go for while.
