if all else fails, kick it

try the jumper alone and see what it does. I would add jumper cables from the battery to the starter to eliminate the power cable as the issue.

Had a Scout that would act up. Changing the delco starter is a huge pain, but on the occasion it failed to start, I could reach through just above the frame and under the inner fender with an 11/16 open end and not even get dirty. I was always vigilant making sure it was in park lest I get run...

are you wanting to just turn it over as the ignition switch gives power to the coil but not the starter, or both? A remote starter switch will hang on to the starter, you can leave it there. I assume going 12v to the input side of the ballast puts 6 volts to the coil. 12 volts will have it...

you can attach one of these to the starter

If it hasn't been started, I would recommend finding a thread on bringing a Mopar back to life. A witches brew of chemicals down the intake and spark plug holes to get lubrication to rings and cylinders. Turn it by hand with a breaker bar. Oil change. Pull the distributor and turn the pump...

"There once was a man from New Zealand, Who painted his arse like a Zinnia, The color was fine, likewise the design, But the aroma, ew, that was a reeker." Lt. Peter Hancock

oh hell, I was thinking 8 track. Don't know anything about cassettes except they hardly ever work when used and they will usually have multiple belts buried deep.

You can have a look yourself. They have covers top and bottom that come off with a few screws. I sometimes open them up like I was a member of a bomb squad or something, making sure there isn't a spring or wire attached. There are things like capacitors that dry out and go bad, even...

I found a place by asking at a music store. They couldn't do the repair I needed and sent me to this place. Might be somebody in Manitowoc? If you can't find anybody, I'll PM my guy's phone number

If you stick in a tape and listen closely to the deck with the volume down, you will probably hear the motor. Most likely a broken belt. The last NOS deck I sold, I pulled the cover and the belt was plumb good. I expected to replace it, that's why I pulled the cover (as I hoped and prayed it...

Here's the easiest fix if it's corrosion inside of the switch. https://caig.com/deoxit-d-series/

19 is about as good as it gets. Pop open a cold one. One of my dad's friends was a line mechanic at the International dealership. They would take the big trucks to a highway leading out of town to set the timing. It's a steep hill two miles long, so they could put a load on it, stop and...

Plus, my IH FSM's say to give it one degree advance for every 1,000 feet of elevation. Living at 4,000 feet, I find the difference to be noticeable.

Purple Beeper is correct, it could be a ground. Do you have a real rebuild place near you? Not AutoZone or nap, well maybe a Napa if they rebuild in house, but somewhere with some expertise to test it for you. That, or do you have or can borrow a known good one to test with?

A diode?

I believe my 1966 alternator is date coded. My car isn't that rare, but on another that is a survivor, I plan to have the squeaking dry bearing original alternator rebuilt rather than replaced.

Yeah, but if I'm going to do it, I would rather used new, old aftermarket over new box store stuff. Seems to be a lot of new parts failures these days.

I THINK I'm following. While possible to install the pickup and all, the weights and springs would be off. So my best bet is find a Dizzy (I always thought that was an English term), and buy the guy's harness? My Dad was 50 when he bought a new pickup in 1974. His first truck was a 1928...

I put a Petronix in my Triumph in the days before anything else was available. It had a shutter and a light. Is this Module Chrome or Gold. Seems to be half and half. The box also came with 7mm wires and Autolite 85 plugs.
