Thread: Starter help

Tweet

Alright guys I am out on this one... I have a 1959 chevy apache with a new 350bored .30 over. delivering the juice is a 650 holley double pumper. New th350 B&M tranny. All new wiring from Ron Francis. Providing the spark is a MSD ignition box and MSD billet distributor. My problem is that I cannot get it to crank.

-I have power to the solenoid in the starter
-Starter has been tested, solenoid is good.
-Ignition switch is new.

With the key in the crank position it sends power to the starter, but that is as farr as it goes.

Please help

no, it won't crank at all.

Too small a wire, or a poor connection in the wiring, will do that. Try shorting at the solenoid with a jumper wire, if it works then , its wiring.

I can jump the solenoid, and it will crank. Denny I don't have a wire from my "I" terminal in my solenoid( never had it) should I? All the wires I used came with the system. It used to work fine.
