Yesterday was a good day, I received a call from Jim Altemose that he would be passing by my home when heading north with his son for a little R&R. As planned Jim showed up at my house with his cool 63' Polara 500. After checking out my toys & car barn we decided to check out a local cruise night. My 63' Fury and Jim's 63' Polara did the local show & shine for awhile then he was off to make a few more miles on his trip.
Well we all know what happened this morning.....I just spoke with Jim, he replaced the starter relay and the car was running well. He was back in my area having a nice dinner then off to catch the ferry back to the Island. Once home I'm sure he'll be planning his next adventure.
Jim, it was a pleasure meeting you and your son, it's nice to put a face with a name from the 62-65 Mopar Group.

Subject: I'm stuck in a parking lot - starter relay?
I drove my 63 Polara 500 up to Manchester Connecticut (near Hartford)
for an overnight trip. Now I'm stuck in the parking lot and it won't
start. Battery and electric seem good; lights work and I have a jump
box. The symptom is when I turn the key, the oil light comes on but
nothing at all from the starter. No noise at all. I tried a
different ballast resistor (I carry a spare). I tried re-seating all
the connectors. I tried cleaning the battery terminals. I guess all
that's left is the starter relay? I'm trying to find a local parts
store that has one.
I have a spare starter relay, but just realized it's the wrong one.
The car has 2 blade connectors and 2 bolt connectors. The spare has 5
blade connectors.
I guess I'm hoping someone has some bit of magic for me to try.
