Hi Shaefer,,


First thing I'ed check is what kind of Spark you are getting as you start it..Pull the center lead out of the dist & hold it close to the Head..You should get a nice blue spark...as it turn's over...


If the battery is old /weak the starter will take all the "juise" & not much left for the ignition...My car after "restoration" would start fine, till the coil got hot, then wouldn't restart ...A new coil fixed that..


If your getting a good spark,,then the starter could need "work". I had a Cable go bad on the Terminal end..Car wouldn't crank,,,But would start with the crank...took awhile to figure that one out,,,,
