Hello everyone
Hoping to get some electrical help on my 72 It has a V8 in it but will not pass any power No buzzing of the fuelpump No dash lights No radio no horn nothing I pulled the ignition switch and tested it It was open until I turned the key and ohmed to almost 0 ohms When I released it open circuit Checked all wires in harness good Ohmed out every fuse in the panel below dash as well as a few in the rear of the car. Checked the ground strap (now a battery Cable) At first I was not getting continuity between the tranny bolt and the body Cleaned up the connection to the tranny as well as to the body ohms out to 2 ohms Checked the battery 12.5 volts Ohmed from neg terminal to chassis ground ohmed to 2-3 ohms It was running fine yesterday until i turned on the headlights while staring it then it died and I havent been able to get it to crank Any help would be appreciated thanks MIke |

Do you still have the OEM positive clamp w/ 3-4 ~10ga wires and a large 2ga cable to starter. IIRC, one of those wires goes to the fuse panel and the other to the ignition switch. Find that wire and check it. If you do have 12v then put some load on it and see if you lose the 12v. I've had some bad connections give me a good reading until they get a little load on them.
