Hello, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me diagnose this
problem:
I recently had the distributor replaced in my '54 Chevy pickup. It was
running just peachy until the other day, when I tried to start it and got
absolutely nothing. No sounds, no cranking, nothing. Figuring the
battery just died, I tried jump-starting from my car -- all I got was a
thunk. Not entirely sure what to do, I tried attaching the jumper cables
from the car so that the positive cable went to the positive post on the
starter, and the negative cable went to ground on the truck frame.
Turning the key then got the starter to crank, but the engine still
wouldn't fire.
I'm a little brain-fried now, and would appreciate any suggestions as to
what to check next.
Thanks,
Tim Lloyd, omaha@tmbg.org
