Re: Starter problems
Insufficient voltage, either due to faulty wiring or a bad battery.

Re: Starter problems
Just went throug this earlier this week with my 69 Chevelle...about half the time it would start, about half the time it would just click.
New battery fixed it right up. |

Re: Starter problems
...and I would go with new battery cables.. they start corroding up at the terminal, and the whole cable will go, so even if you change the terminal, you still might have the problem... you can usually see it when you take the terminal off, there is a green"vein" of corrosion running through the wire..
