RE: Not cranking ...



Check your battery cable to the posts. Mine didn't start at gas station the day before going to Carlisle, I tightened the D clamp and it started, when I got home I changed the 60 year old original negative cable, as it was fraying and the cover was cracking, I had new ones just waiting to go on. Positive still looks good, but that one will be this winter. John Wask.....

Subject: Not cranking ...

My 63 Polara was driving great all of the long weekend.  Parked it then went to start it and got a slight click then nothing.  Measured the battery voltage and it's 12.49.  Is that enough or border line?  I'll try charging it later.  Maybe bad alternator?  If I charge it and it starts, I'll check the voltage again.

Thought it might be neutral safety switch so I shifted out of park and stayed in neutral.  Still nothing.

Tried a different and new ballast resistor and nothing.

Lights come on but maybe that's irrelevant.

Any thoughts?  Thanks.
