did you say you changed the battery? it should run no prob either way since its a manual, self sustained system and crap...but on my old auto camry i had the battery was soo far gone that even with a good alternator it would die...but you can start your car off your battery currently i assume huh? so this might not be the prob.....

check your ground cable all the way to the starter. I believe there was a ground wire to the firewall originally (so I was told when someone told me why there was a hole in the firewall there). I ran two pieces of #10 cable to screws at either side of the engine compartment on the advice of a friend who is very z knowledgeable. Bad grounds can cause lots of weird electrical problems and are sometimes hard to locate. I also have a 85 but a turbo. It appears you did change the battery so that shouldn't be an issue. You should also put a voltmeter across the battery and see what the voltage is doing when revving. Internally regulated voltage.
