I'm not sure why it wasn't grounding then. I know aluminum is conductive, but I figured that's why it wasn't grounding. I dunno, but she's working now and has a better ground... I did remove the paint from the starter mount after I painted the block too, so it's not that.
I already had the bolts from when I removed the original starter when I pulled the engine out of the van it was in. They have the knurling.
