My 75 is finally home and seems to be running fine with still a bunch of body and suspension work to do. It was hard to start but now it starts after about three tries. But sometimes it won't turn over at all. Not a battery problem and it seems if I pull the key a little while starting it will catch. Is this a starter issue or ignition switch? My preference would be the cheapest of the two...
Thanks, Rick |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) too. Why do we always suggest people try band-aid solutions then think a little harder about why someone is having an issue to begin with?
Start at the main reason : most of the components on the car are probably 40+ years old now. Start by replacing those first - it doesn't cost as much as you think. -New ground strap from the battery to the chassis and the transmission to the chassis. -Then consider replacing the (likely) 40 year old ignition switch made from plastic. |
