Alrighty. Charged all night. Same one click from the solenoid. I’m gonna have my buddy come over later and try his battery.


got it bumped again this morning, the wipers are going really slow when it’s running. All clues 🙂

I’ll keep posting until I get an answer. Thank you al again for your help.

 

Wipers running slow to me means the charging system isn't working correctly and you are running off just battery voltage that is almost dead.
What do you mean "got it bumped again this morning" ? You got it started again ?
Are you using your friends battery now ?

 

Bumped, as in he pushed it , and put it in gear and released the clutch, it’s a manual transmission as he said earlier.

 

Yes. Sorry, this is what I did to get it going.

came home, took the negative right off the battery, still ran so I think the battery is the culprit as the battery light never came on all drive. About an hours worth of driving

 

got the new battery back in August. 600 cca 100 ex 60 ah

delco with the vent line attached

 

A bad battery is a really common cause for all kinds of maladies in these cars. Every one I have bought needed a new one pretty soon.

 

I guess that's a Canadian thing.

 

We always had to bump start our sprint cars in either side of the border. Not a Canadian thing at all.

 

Blue it was meant to be a joke.
When I helped with Modifieds we would always push start it if the starter gave up the ghost.
Always pushed started street cars that had a clutch also.

 

If you mean you disconnected the negative battery cable while the engine was running............DON'T DO THAT..
That's a good way to mess up some of the electronics on a modern day, computer controlled car. That old school, shade tree thing of disconnecting the battery might have worked back in the 1960's. Not on today's car's.
