Re: 454 no start help!

Like I said, the ground was working through something not meant to be the ground and it finally gave up or got moved. I have seen shifter cables, linkages, smaller wires, etc. work for a while.
Be sure to ground the body to the engine or the bat negative or you will have another problem eventually, esp. headlights and/or AC, etc.
