Its late, I tried to fire up the max tonight. The fuel pump primed,
the injectors clicked. But when I turn the key the electrical in the
car just dies. Nothing is on, and I have to unplug the battery, then
reconnect it. Any Ideas?

PS, The starter is new,battery is fully charged.

Yes..clean and tighten the posts first...pos and neg......the starter requires a LOT more current than the cars accessories.....the radio will work many times and the car will not start....
I like to use these cheap battery post cleaners....it does both...cleans the post and the cable end...you should see bright finish when it is clean.

You should also look at your battery cables. Sometimes the ends of the wire will corrode and that will limit current also. I found that anti-corrosion spray for batteries also works well on the end of the wires. Spray the wire ends before you put new terminals on the cables.
