Thanks for all you guys that jumped in to help me out! It's had a New starter, new solenoid, new cables, checked wiring 100x...Pulled the starter and had it tested...it was bad! put new one in and it fired right up. Now the test is if it will start a couple days from now

Getting ready to do that here shortly. Had to get the kids to school.

I was using a BDW from OReilly...switched to Standard brand on the last one and I didn't even get one start out of it...I also just switched out the ignition switch and no change.

I also see diagrams online that show the battery side of the solenoid is the same side as the "s" circuit, and diagrams showing the battery side on the same side as the "I" circuit...which one is correct, because that could be a issue...I am running on the same side as the "...

I will double check what I do have wired. I do not have the truck completely wired yet. I have the ignition switch hooked up only so I can move it in and out of the garage. So I have the HEI hooked to the run (red/green) on the ignition switch...there are no resistor wires present as all wiring was ...

"I" terminal was running 12v when I have ignition switch on, whether in start or just on. I'm fairly certain I have something not correct with wiring. That's why I was hoping someone can just give me quick rundown on what wires from the ignition switch should go where...the truck would sta...

Clicking solenoid sounds like a dead battery or poor connection. I'd check for rotten cable from the solenoid to the starter. For now....be sure the truck is in neutral...use a jumper wire from the positive cable connection on the solenoid to the S connector on the solenoid. With the key on you sho...

So what wires need to be hooked up in the ignition switch?

I keep frying starter solenoids (4 in 2 weeks) and can not figure out why. I do not have full wiring in the truck yet just have the ignition switch hooked up so I can start the motor to move the truck in and out of the garage. Right now i have wiring hooked up as such: out of ignition switch...yello...

Welcome from Reno, NV!

I have several different duraspark 2 schematics, didn't have a good one of the ignition switch...I have got the motor to now turn over just haven't got it to fire up...gonna double check TDC and the distributor for correct timing and hopefully it will take off...only problem is I slammed my fingers ...

I got it all figured out! Thanks for responding though!

Any help I can get would be awesome! I need the 65 ignition switch wire color code and how it wires to duraspark II ignition... Does anyone have this? The ignition switch has the center post, yellow, black w/green and black w/blue

Looking sweet!

Got all the fuel lines and brakes lines completed and fastened to the frame. They could definitely look better and be more straight on the long runs and the bends could be nicer, but this was my first attempt at line bending and flares. Any tips on straightening tubing out there? A little late but f...

Body and paint are the things I'm most comfortable with as well, but most likely going to farm out what's left to a shop in town...too messy to do in my home garage and I am running out of time and getting antsy on getting my truck done! I look forward to seeing how it all comes out!

Welcome from Reno, NV! Nice looking project!

Good work, Tyler! It's hard to get in the time to work on these projects sometimes!

I cut 2 whole coils off of a set...then let it settle for about 6 months (long project going on here). I don't think they could have bent the beams enough to compensate. Needless to say those springs were replaced and the truck was put back to stock height until I can purchase the correct parts to l...

Looking pretty sweet! A lot more brave than I am, no way I'm cutting that deep into a truck lol
