The starter motor on my 73 is very sluggish but every once in a while I'll get it turn quick and then almost dead as though the battery flat. I have just put a brand new BOSCH battery on her. I have the clamps tight. The garage is at near freezing temperature here, maybe that does not help. Before I look at buying another starter motor....any suggestions of what to check or hit with a hammer!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Get your voltmeter (if you don't have one, buy one) and put it on the big lug on the starter and see what voltage you get. You should get about 12V when starting.
