Engine won't start

I get a little shakey on the wiring of the early rigs. You have a shop manual/ wiring diagram?

Scroll down this thread, there's a link for a 66 shop manual:

Here are some useable ones:

First, Mopars don't have an alternator light, just an oil light and ammeter Does your oil warning light come on? What color is the stray wire?

(Temp sender should be violet, oil sender should be gray)

Does the car crank but not fire, or not crank? Is it stick or automatic?

If automatic, the neutral safety switch is on the trans, has one wire comes up over the top of the trans and hooks to ONE of the two "push on" terminals of your starter relay.

Unhook ONE of the push on terminal wires on the start relay, hook your test lamp to first one, then the other, and turn the key to start, determine which wire is "hot" with key in "start."

HOOK THAT WIRE back up to either push on terminal.

Temporarily clip lead the opposite terminal to ground, and the engine should crank.

If it does, check out the wire to the neutral safety, the switch itself, or the trans shift linkage

IF not, and if the other wire to the 'push on' terminal is getting juice from the key "in start" then you may have a bad relay. Try jumpering across the two EXPOSED terminals of the relay, and see if the starter cranks.

According to diagram "B" the wire coming from the ign switch to the relay is black/ yellow, and the one to the neutral safety is brown

As far as the oil sender (near distributor) being different, it normally is either a flat spade or a "button head" and what LOOKS like a spade female actually slips over the "button head" horizontally
