Have your solenoid checked out by the auto electrician, your starter is fine
-
Disconnect the solenoid from the starter and apply power to the solenoid only, check if it still clicks.
-
Try it with the spark plugs removed. This will remove the load on the starter
-
Best to check the sender first.

I've been using a cheap Chinese pump ($15) for at least 3 years now, have one in both my mopars, one in the trunk as a spare as a just incase, an expensive Facet pump failed after 12 months. Two things you need with any electric fuel pump, a good fuel filter before it, and not let it run dry ie run out of fuel. And mount it at the bottom level of the tank and near it.
-
True, an electric fuel pump running dry will burn out quickly, best to mount the electric fuel pump below the level to the bottom of the fuel tank.
-
Any performance work done, ie milling the head for high comp., etc?
-
Try NGKs B6S, cheap to buy, should work well.
-
The pressure switch cannot be polarity sensitive, the the pressure from the brake fluid causes the switch to turn on, not the electrical supply.
-
Had similar issues with my pressure switche/s, so I stalled a mechanical brake switch,
-
Hanging them off the engine stand with bell housing on?

I had the same situation when I was working on my '28 engine building. Lower the engine to a couple large timber long blocks on the floor resting along the sump bolts, still keeping the hoist attached to keep the engine falling sideways. -
Here is my setup with the Ryco equivalent,
-
You can also buy a fuel filter that does the same thing. One inlet and two out lets where the return line is a smaller orifice outlet. I believe Chrysler used it in later models, not sure when though.
-
Do you have a battery cut-off switch? If so, maybe by-pass to see if there's an issue with it.
-
I've measured my cars, generally around 250-300amps. State of tune makes a difference, get yourself a DC clamp meter to check yours.
-
Those cheapie cut off switches with removable keys have a 12 month life, I replace mine on a regular basis when the starter starts struggling. They're only $10-$15 bucks.
-
Try pulling the spark plugs out to minimize the load on the starter and see how it turns over.
-
Do they do it in 6 volt?
-
Only when or if your generator/alternator fails.
-
You can go pertronix with 6volts too. The deep cycle is not ideal for your car.
-
A Pertronix module will work too.
-
You will get better and worth while efficiency from a quality tune up, bump in compression, and even a pertronix module in the distributor.
-
The reason for this is that the electronic pickup (lobe sensing or hall effect magnets) maybe in a different position in the distributor to where the points were, hence the radical adjustment that maybe required. It doesn't mean you are actually advance by 30deg when adjusted and correctly timed.
-
Just to add to sniper's post, generator/alternator won't output the full capability of it 99% of the time, only when needed, ie on start up to charge the battery. If you have a slightly loose fan belt you will notice it will slip and make noise on start up and then as the demand on the generator alternator is reduced the noise will go away, belt stops slipping.
-
Not correct, both will do about the same power, regardless of voltage.
