What's best method for voltage drop? check volts at bat and again at starter when key turned to start?

You need a digital volt meter and connect one lead to the positive battery post and the other on the positive battery cable connection at the starter. Turn it on the DC volt scale and have someone crank over the engine. Any reading you get over .3v is too much resistance in the cable or connections. Same can be done on the negative side.
