My 66, with AC and cruise, occasionally and very sporadically will not engage the starter. When this happens, the start side of the solenoid is only receiving 3.8 volts ( measured at that location). ignition switch has been replaced, neutral safety seems to be working ( I'm getting some voltage, not not a full 12 v) Jumping battery side to start terminal engages solenoid and it starts right away. then it may go months without this happening.

Any ideas what to check? I seems to me it would be 12 v or nothing- but that is not the case.
