Re: electrical/wiring problem

[scott preston <penstarperformance@xxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is not a short, its a open circuit at the bulkhead connector or a corrosion at a terminal or a burnt connector or poor connection.A short would blow a fuse or fusible link.If you run a wire from the ignition switch to the coil from the on position of the switch,and it runs normally,the wiring harness is the problem,mrmopartech 450 424 0445

My '64 Sport Fury is still cranking but when the key is returned to the "run" 

position the car dies.

A local mobile mechanic diagnosed it as a electrical/wiring problem.  

He says I have power in the "crank" position but the power is being completely 

cut off when the ignition returns to the "run" position.

He said replace the ignition, I did -- still no start.

He says if new ignition doesn't solve the problem there is a short or open connection 

in blue wire between the ignition switch and out to the coil.

When he wired the coil directly to the battery the car starts up normally!

What is the best way to find a short?  Wouldn't it be easier to just replace the 

entire wire following it from the ignition to the coil?

Thanks,

Douglas
