Hi Folks. 1930 Standard Roadster. Had it a few months. Came from Hilton Head and Virginia before that. Only know history for 22 years. Car is in pretty good shape and starts and runs well. Had some kind of wobble in the front end at about 40 mph. Moved the wheels front to back to try to pinpoint. After doing that and wanting to go for a ride, car will not start. No sound from the starter. Juice is getting to the bolt on the starter switch, and I've ordered a new switch from Ecklers, which is 20-minutes up the road. I expect to be able to chase this down, but the question is can anyone think of any reason jacking up the car and moving the wheels would have anything whatsoever with the starter?
