Re: [Chrysler300] 57 300 hemi

[Sheldon Wotring <swotring@xxxxxxx>]

Hi
Many years ago I was trying to start an early hemi. Everything was 
right. I was turning it over with a pushbutton switch hooked up to the 
starter relay. It would start and run as long as I was spraying starting 
fluid into it. When the ether stopped, the engine stopped.
Turned out I had forgotten to turn on the ignition switch.
If everything seems right then it's probably something obvious and stupid.
If you have good spark while cranking is it still there when you stop 
cranking?
Do you have voltage to the coil whether cranking or not?
