The starting problem happened again, in completely different circumstance.

2 no-starts out of about 25 times since getting '65 Coronet 500 w/495 roller 
wedge back on road.  First time, car was dead cold in morning, turned key one 
position to get electrics going, fuel cell in trunk ran, twisted key to 
cranking position, nothing.  No clicks, no rotation.  Came back to car some hours 
later, it started immediately.

A week later, after driving to work to show it off to my grudgingly admiring 
Chevy pals, ran to 3-4 stores getting parts, etc, all restarts fine.  Got 
home, shutoff in driveway to open gates, etc., then same exact no-start symptom as 
above, only fully hot engine.  Rowed the 727 shifter around, no help, so yes, 
neutral safety switch not likely.

Haven't checked timing, don't know how yet, but it was set by a shop owner 
who has worked on and raced Mopars for 30 years.  He hasn't had the car yet to 
analyze.

New 800cca battery, all new wiring. No need for two batteries, engine builder 
starts his '70 Roadrunner with 800+ cid wedge just fine with one battery & 
same wiring system as he installed in my car.

One possibility mentioned is that my hi-torque Dakota-type starter was 
weakened during only 3-4000 miles of running with my last 440 build, which ran hot 
all the time, burned plug boots, etc.  A well-meaning friend probably put the 
cam in wrong, had timing way off.  Anyway, might have roasted the starter with 
the 2-inch TTI headers?  But, wouldn't I have the trouble more often, if so?

PS  West coast show/swap coming up 10/15, Chrysler Performance West club's 
"Fall Fling", Van Nuys, Ca.  We usually see around 400 Mopars on display.  Our 
spring shows now 2 days, in mid-Aprils, have seen as many as 650 cars.
