Ignition switch wiring help needed

[Boise69]

Hello All,

I'm new to the forum so please forgive me if i'm doing this wrong.

I own a 1969 C-10 SB 350ci Auto. I've been driving it daily for 3 years and well a month ago it stopped cranking... turn the key and just the brake light ignites and a faint click.

I replaced the battery with an optima... faint click.
I replaced the the positive cable terminal .... faint click
I replaced the OEM starter with a new Mini ... faint click
I spliced in a new 12GA wire for large purple wire leading to the starter becasue it looked old and dry .... faint click
I spliced in a new wire for the yellow insulated wire leading to the starter ... faint click

I have an ACCEL HEI. I replaced the cap, the coil and put a new wire that leads to the firewall... faint click.

Now i'm tempted to replace the entire wire harness and ign switch.

Any suggestions? Whats the best way to see if the NEW starter is working?

Thank you'

Ted

Hi Ted,

You need to start a new thread when you make a post that isn't a reply to the existing post. Starting a new thread in an existing thread is called "hijacking the thread" If that makes any sense.....

At the top of the main page (above the announcements) click on "New Thread" and post your question there. Also use a different subject heading than this thread does. Hope this helps.
