Re: IML: Starting my 64 Imperial

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't spend a dime until I knew whether or not the engine will 
turn over.

That is the first thing I check before proceeding with any old car that 
has been sitting. If it won't crank with the starter, I turn it over by 
hand, and go from there. Usually they turn, but sometimes they don't. 
It sounds like all of Mark's other cars have side terminal batteries, 
so if the new battery doesn't correct the situation, he will be wasting 
his money since he probably can't use it in one of his other cars. 
Usually, batteries can't be returned for a refund, either.

Didn't another post suggest that the battery was tested and it was okay?

Merry Christmas!

Paul W.

I second and third that.

Install a new battery in the car.

Tell us what happens.

If the old battery has a dead cell it won't let
the jumper battery work. Best way it to
install the jumper battery.
