This may be off topic but I figured the general concept would still apply
to Forwardlook cars and frankly I don't know who else to ask.
I have a 1967 New Yorker that just recently started having ignition
problems. Sometimes when the key is turned on, nothing comes on like the battery
is dead. Sometimes, I can get one crank out of the motor before the enitre
system goes dead again.
The first time this happend, I thought it was the battery or a bad ignition
switch so I proceeded to hot wire it with a jumper from the coil to the battery.
As soon as I connected the jumper, the entire ignition came back on since the
key was still in the 'on' position. I was able to start the car with the key
once a jumper wire was attached.
There is 12v current at the at the main terminal on the switch even when
the problem is happening. I have replaced the ignition switch with a known good
one thinking it might be bad without any change in results.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
