I had this happen with my 69 about a year ago &
it turned out to be the fusible link went bad. It was about 105 degrees out
& I had the A/C running. When I stopped at a red light, the ammeter went way
to discharge. The car stalled & EVERYTHING was dead. After I had it towed
home, I ran a jumper wire from the battery to the starter relay & it started
right up. I then discovered that the fusible link wire was hanging by about 3
strands & green corrosion on it.
I've also had what you
describe happen with dirty battery terminals. removing the terminals from the
battery & cleaning & retighten solved that. I would start with the
battery terminals first.

This happened to me
as well with my ?63 Crown. The battery was shot. Replace it with a
new one (don?t waste your time with charging it- it probably has a dead short
internally).

electrics
Today I tried to start my 68 Imp.
after a few years sitting in the garage.
When I connected the battery the
dashboard and interior lights came on normally, but when I tried to start the
engine I heard a noise and ALL electrics went down, now there is absolutely no
current to anything, can anybody direct me to the shortest way to correct this
problem, never before I have come across to something like
this.
Appreciating your assistance and
