RE: [oletrucks] '59 won't start

Thanks for your reply, That's exactly whats happening. The battery shows 
12volts when the engine is off, but the second I try to start the voltmeter 
drops all the way to zero. Someone suggested I have a bad ignition switch, it 
may be shorting out. Easily tested by by-passing the ignition, "hot-wiring". 
How do I do this?

thanks,
