Re: Not getting power to coil
Got pissed off said " F-THIS!" Went and got my huge 750 cranking hours BRAND NEW Marine deep cell threw it in, hit it with 1 shot of starter fluid and she fired right up. I guess a little voice in my ear reminded me of this happening before when I bought a 95 Chevy van. Beautiful van but of course it's sitting in the yard now with no transmission. Duh.
The battery that was in my 65 was not holding charge so I would charge it then work, cranked really well for 3 minutes but I guess it never makes quite a hot enough spark if it's a shot battery!
Anyhow the whole point of this (for the short term) is just to be able to lubricate the engine for the time being. I do want her up but at least I can keep her from degrading.
I'm thinking it would prob be a good idea to put that bypass in at some point too.
And THANK YOU sooooo much Ken! Your calm reminders kept me (somewhat) sane!
