I have a '74 with a 2.2 L with dual carbs. I just swapped the engine and used all of the same accessories as the last (running) engine. Now that everything is bolted up, I am trying to crank the engine and nothing is happening. Here's what I have:
Both large wires connected to connector 30 Single wire connected to connector 50 Fully charged battery Voltage reading from connector 30 to the vehicle floorboard When I turn the key, I hear the electric fuel pump kick on then get one click and that is all. I tried connecting a remote starter switch between 30 and the other large connector and got nothing. I also connected the remote starter switch between 30 and 50 and got nothing. Any suggestions on where to look next? Is the starter bad? It worked fine before. Thanks, Ken |

You can spend a lot of time troubleshooting and checking connections, or you can cut to the chase quickly. Use the screwdriver trick at the starter and rule out half the steps in one second.
