Help - I'm almost giving up! Won't start.

Maybe a ground problem. I worked on a Volare once and to get the blower motor to work I wrapped a piece of wire around the key chain split ring and the other end around the column shifter and sure enough the blower started. There are a lot of grounds, just start with the big ones. Say block to chassis. Paint under connections isn't a good ground, or rust. I have a feeling you know this, but we are not there so we have to start somewhere.
