350 won't start
OK can somebody please shed some light on my situation?
I have a chevy 350 with a MSD ignition box and distributor. I recently had to change the starter. Now the problem is this... The gauges power up in the accesory and in the on position, but as soon as I go to crank all the gauges die out and she won't crank. What gives she was working perfect before the starter change. Please help guys.

I would check the ignition switch there should be a box that is under the dash connected to the steering wheel shaft check those wires and check to see if your getting spark mabey you have a short or a wire is crossed start troubleshouting & checking ground connections will the engine even turn over!

The truck won't even click. I rewired the entire truck with a Ron Francis wire system (bare bonz II). Denny the only wire that goes to the small post is one wire coming fron the fuse box. Does that sound right?

Denny I suspect that one of my neutral safety wires is bad. If te wire is bad would I still get power at the solenoid side of my starter?

Sounds like you have the "start" wire on the wrong post on the solenoid. If you can reach it, try shorting a screwdriver from the big post to each little post. One of them will turn it over.
more pic's of console. Getting some wood work done still need lots of trimming and fitting but the idea is there. [/URL]...
