Electrical Starting problems
I have a brand new battery in the car and it started the car when the battery was put in then the car sat for a week and the pump would come on but when I would turn the key in the column it would do nothing. I can turn the key on and put the screw driver to the solinoid and it starts and if I put the charger on the battery and turn the key it will start, what do you think is the problem? I have checked my ground from the battery to the frame and also checked the positive cable, there ok

Right, its probably a poor connection somewhere. Could even be a bad ignition switch.

Have you done the voltage drop tests? If good check for a bad fusible link coming off the starter. You said the battery grounds to the frame,do you have seperate ground from the block to the frame? I've seen them left off after a swap. Hank
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
