Be sure to listen to everything 67Dart273 says .This man knows what he is talking about and is very helpful.

Thanks Del...You confirmed my suspicions and gave me a good starting point.I will post once I get time to look at it.

Still using same system it came with in 1964...Just did mad bypass is all.Now no fire in crank mode but if key is in on position I can short the starter solonoid and it will start and run.No time yet to trace and see what I did wrong. I know for some people electrical is easy but for me it just...

I did find the short... was the ammeter..did madd bypass... see post # 8...Was hoping you would answer and maybe give me a starting point before I dig up my schematics and start testing. Thanks

I'm Baaaack.....Did Madd Bypass a while back but never started the car( I know I know) and have been busy with HOA duties so car was on back burner for a while.Went to move it out of the garage today and wouldn't start using ignition switch.Could turn switch on and short solonoid and it starts...

Absolutely plan to find the short 1st....I have a hunch.... but Honey Do's and some promised work for our HOA has kept me out of the garage.

Thanks for all the tips...much appreciated. Took the day off from working on the car to take care of some Honey Do's. Back at it tomorrow.

Thanks for making me smile this morning :cheers::cheers:

Good place to start.Thanks

Ever have one of those days? Just finished putting dash and gauges back together. Put the battery in and upon hooking up 2nd cable to it it was obvious I had a dead short somewhere.By the time I got the cable pulled back off there was a lot of smoke in the starter area. Couldn't find any burnt...

My 64 GT has working backup lights.I was pretty amazed.
