My dad is getting his new car today.. Its a 74 2.0 pretty rust free car.. He has had about 10 Porsches over the year s and currently has an 02 boxster s with about 40k on it but needed a retirement project.. Dad is approaching 70 so this a longer term project but it should be fun.. The price was right as he got it for free although I have to provide labor on a 2.2 E rebuild.. I still think it was a good buy

You, I mean he can use a Voltage Drop Test to find where he has resistance in the starter circuit or any other circuits on the car.
In a voltage drop test you are testing the circuit under load. Resistance in a connection or wire forces current through the voltmeter and the higher the voltage the higher the resistance and the more voltage is lost when using the circuit. Sine the Starter circuit goes from the battery to Fuse panel or a power junction next to the panel to the ignition switch to the seat belt interlock to the engine compartment relay panel to the starter, there is plenty of places to have resistance and voltage drop. There are plenty of articles on teh net about voltage drop tests. Here is one Voltage Drop Test Quite a handy test. Jim |
