76 Plymouth Valiant won't start

I overstepped........disregard worrying about the ammeter. I had forgotten the 76 is an "external shunt" ammeter. That lets that "out."

Might be well to step back and take a fresh start

You don't seem to see any smoking or heating now?

So where are we?

Does the starter crank the engine? If not let's attack that

If it does, have you checked for spark, what is the result?

Nope, didn't see smoke or smell anything burning and I let it warm up well before I went on the 4 mile drive.

I did get a shoe full of water, as it rained a few days ago. I think it could be the windshield or something is leaking. My daughter doesn't think it is the windshield. The water is coming from around the steering wheel on the DS and it leaks on the PS as well.
