Electrical problem
1965 Ford Mustang V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 1965 Mustang with a 289 2v that when you turn the key to crank it, it turns the fan then sounds like it grinds then either the ground wire in the back connected to the back firewall or the groung coonnected to the neg battery cable burns and smokes. i Have replaced the alternator,starter,battery,battery cables, solenoid switch,ignition switch, andvoltage regulator.I've check my grounds and they dont appear to be loose.

this starter has a solinoid right on the starter.
