I've always made a habit of checking the ground between the battery and the block on the 129 with a DVOM the few times I've had a problem
Using a DVOM meter will tell you if there is a resistance problem. You could have zero resistance but not enough connection to handle the Amperage. It is like having one strand of a multi-stranded cable making contact, and the DVOM will see this as zero resistance, but that one strand won't turn a starter over. A more accurate method would be to check the Amperage Draw.
