Possible electrical issues in my 64 wagon

You can narrow down the problem. With the scenario in post #5, the ign relay would still energise, but nothing from the starter.

When it happens again, see if you can get an assistant to put their finger on the ign relay. If you feel a click, then the relay, wiring to the starter or starter itself is faulty. No click from the relay could still be a faulty relay, wiring, NSS or ign sw.

MY CAR DID THAT YESTERDAY , IN THE GARAGE AFTER I DROVE IT AND HIT THE REV LIMITER TWICE IN LOW GEAR , SHIFT LIGHT ISNT WORKING AND NEED TO RAISE THE RPM LIMIT, NO CLICK , ACTED LIKE THE SWITCH WAS BAD , WHICH IS NEW ALONG W/ EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE ELEC.

ANY SUGESTIONS ??---------FORGIVE THE CAPS , THIS COMP. WORKS BETTER ON CAPS AND DOESN`T CHANGE TYPED STUFF LIKE IT HAS BEEN DOING------
