Urgent help needed asap
okay here's the deal, I go in for an intensive surgery tomorrow at 6am that is going to leave me in bed for 6 months. Right now its 10:30pm my time. I need to get my truck started to get antifreeze in it. Here's my problem, my fuse block blew so I rewired the ignition and charging system to the exact dot of how member Vettevet told me to and I ran into a problem which I will get to.
Here's a link to my other thread where Vettevet told me how to do my wiring and what switches I am running. In his comment some of the steps are for a non HEI distributor so disregard those as I have HEI.
My problem: I have power to my main toggle switch and I have power to my push button start. When I push the button in to engage the starter to start the engine, the engine starts with no problem. As soon as I release the button, the truck dies. I can't leave the button pushed because it will keep the starter engaged. What's going on here????
