64 Chevy C10 - 350 small block - not starting
Greetings,
I thought it was time for me to pose a question on here since I have been struggling the last month trying to figure out why the truck is not starting. Let me begin with some background What I have done. =========== * Replaced all wiring harnesses using American Autowire's 1960-1966 truck kit. * Replaced the fuel pump. * Replaced the alternator with a one-wire version. Unwired the external voltage regulator. * Replaced the starter. * Replaced the battery (dated 11/2017). * Added a third brake light since the AAW kit accomodates one. * Swapped out the old OEM gauges for a Dakota Digital version. * Replaced the MSD 6 non-digital box with a digital version. (my lame troubleshooting effort probably resulted in me changing the old box when I did not need to do so). * Installed a new heater core a few months ago. What is happening when I put the key in the ignition and try to start ========================================== * The starter turns and makes the typical starter sound. But the truck never turns over to start. What happens when I place the key in the ACC side of the ignition. ========================================= * Dakota Digital box LED light comes on like the instructions state it should. * Dakota Digital Gauges - Gas Gauge pegs a bit below half full (which I feel is an accurate reading. - Voltage gauge reads between 12 and 12.5 volts. * Radio comes on. * Windshield wipers work. * Thrift air heater makes a lot of crackling noise like before when turning the button. I just have not fixed things yet. So I am not too worried about that now. * Head and running lights work. * Tail lights work. * Brake light works. * turn signals (front and back) work. Tonight I re-checked the wiring for the alternator and starter. It seems right based on the first two attachments. I also checked the wiring for the MSD box. I believe both are wired properly. I have added writing attachments for the alternator/starer wiring; and the MSD so that you can see what I mean. Regarding the MSD unit, I did not use the WHITE or GRAY wires. Will look forward to any advice I can get. Eddie |
