Hello teeners
Looking for some advice please I have a 72 V8 conversion (I Know not a real 14) Really fun to drive I just tried to start it and I do get power to dash and radio but the fule pump cuts out and no crank when I turn the key to the full starting position. The 2 things I have notice 1 Battery was low (Now Charging) 2 No cranking no clicking nothing. 3 Fuel pump cuts out 4 flashers tied to the e-brake keep flashing could it be the e-brake sensor? Clutch sensor/switch? Starter? ignition switch? Checked all relays and fuses I can find All seem good. Thanks Mike |

A stock 72 had a starter interlock relay under the passenger seat that prevented starting the car without seat belts fastened.
Your car is not stock so who knows what has been done with the wiring to the starter. Most car by now have probably had the starter interlock under the passenger seat bypassed. You can check under the passenger seat and see if the yellow and yellow/red wire have been connected together and have a good connection. You can also check for power (12v) on the yellow wire from the ignition switch in start position. As others have said check for ground problems. Jim |
