I just used Staples from a hand staple gun, they were the same width as the original staples, and easy enough to bend once through the holes, while not pulling out easily. were a slightly different gauge but are working fine for the last 3 months or so.

doing the voltage drop basically solved my starting problems so make sure you do that as soon as you can

I google searched it, since Fiat acquired chrysler I believe the site has changed Fiat Chrylser Automobiles Historical Services 12501 Chrysler Freeway CIMS 410-11-21 Detroit, MI 48288 USA http://www.fcanorthamerica.com/company/Heritage/Pages/Build-Records.aspx the link should take you straight to the order instructions page Nice to see from someone Close By in the Northwest!!!

I would peg it as a dodge lid, and I would expect it to fit but just have different emblem holes, but I'm no expert so don't hold me to it
-
so I worked it out, the battery i had gotten in march had failed, they replaced it and I put it in, all problems solved! it is nice to have all the new parts though

once i sort out the electricals I'll gladly post one from work -
I found it does turn by hand and by jump pack the starter whizzes up nicely I will try to check my grounds, (only one i know is battery to block, should there be others?) and have my battery tested

From the album: Magazine Ads
A couple of my favorite adverts, framed them in barn wood to take to shows The tan car ad is 1946, the red I believe to be from 48 -

I got the 73-10 ohm from them when I got a new tank, seemingly works great (bottom listing) http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=276/mode=prod/prd276.htm

as long as its art my girlfriend doesn't seem to mind my various LeMans posters and classic racing photos here and there. But she also has me hang up Captain america wall art and WWII signal corp posters my grandpa made... hopefully she feels the same

I tried this, seems to have a good positive ground to the block, full power to the battery terminal on the solenoid obviously (6.1v), and nothing on the starter side, even when hitting the starter button turning the key does drop the battery to about 3.8 v but i assume that to be normal... I will have to try this, but im pretty sure the engine is fine... I tried jumping it post to post last time, and the connections kind of just popped/sparked, that was with old cable and yeah, both new ones looked exactly like that, but are new, NOT NOS or anything still could only bolt down one side also hoping to get a hold of my friend, who got my taillights working, he does a fair bit of electrical.
-
i had the battery tested, and it also holds a good 6.2, it replaced a bad one in january should be 0 from andy bernbaum

I didn't test them together but tested 3 seperate solenoids, and the starter works on its own how do I turn the engine by hand? from where i mean I bought the car in October, generator rebuild in November started an ran like a champ (once or twice a month) till early April, The problem I have is the Starter should be fine, like I said, i tested it out of the car, it worked very well, I also took it apart and cleaned it up, everything still looks new internally. at that point I also got the new cables and upon installing it all, it went from a slow crank, to no crank and the solenoid started clicking very loudly. I then replaced it, new part clicked just the same. took apart and reassembled the starter once more, still just clicked. Then I got correct gauge cable, (my error) and installed it, still Clicked, and finally another rip off of a solenoid Still just getting the loud clicks. The starter was rebuilt before I bought the car, it shouldn't be the problem...

I recently posted, but wanted to start my question fresh again since I feel like I made my own thread super confusing last time Problem, Car wont start Fresh parts, NEW battery cables and starter cable, NEW solenoid and Battery (6v, Pos Ground) Rebuilt Generator, somewhat rececently Rebuilt Starter I am getting a lot of clicking out of the solenoid (tried 3 different 6v solenoids) and no attempt for the car to start. I'm really getting stumped with this, the starter used to crank over slow I took it apart and cleaned it up, it looks new inside, and even tested well, it works on its own. any ideas on why it wont start would help, still not sure if there is a better way to ground the car or not now have correct cabes from bernbaum, They are really nice and fabric wrapped! Also wanted to let others know that the $100 solenoid on the Andy Bernbaum site is the same as the $20 i ordered from O'Reillys Auto, neither of which fit the original bolt holes of my original starter solenoid but do have correct terminals i endorse other products I've ordered on the site but the solenoid can be found elsewhere 80% cheaper
-
ordering correct gauge wiring from andy bernbaum, hopefully will do the trick
-
quoting this, I attempted to test it again after another tear down and clean of the starter...
-
i don't think so, i might leave them since I'm still pretty sure it had a rebuild close to when I bought it last fall. It just looks so clean and unworn on every internal, so unlike the rest of what I've rebuilt or had rebuilt. but any reason it wont even turn when assembled and hooked up? it seemed to struggle, so i removed it, inspected then reinstalled without changing a thing, now I get nothing out of it, so frustrating. i don't want to rebuild it if I don't have to. maybe i got another faulty solenoid? new parts dont always work...
-
I hooked it up to power correctly this time, now it spins great, but not when installed.... is there maybe an engine ground other than the battery that I could clean up? it should be getting power with the new solenoid, just maybe not grounded correctly?
-
apparently wasn't the solenoid, same noise new part, will be checking the Bendix at my next opportunity. managed to install a new fuel tank while waiting for the solenoid though, so it was overall a productive day
-
I will definitely be buying that book. I finally had someone else behind the wheel so I could really listen and there is a lot of clicking from the solenoid, so I will try replacing that first, might as well found a 6v solenoid at Oreillys for a quick check, $20, will get an NOS part later on if this works. thanks again for all the help!!!
-
Will definitely try this after work tomorrow, thanks! this sounds like my best bet for what I'm hearing
