Please help me figure this one out. I was to go racing this evening and my dang 68 cuda quit me. It was working fine and I went to start it last night and it starts when cranking but when you let off the switch to on or (run) mode it stops. If I hold the switch in crank mode the engine runs fine (tough on starters). So it is an electrical problem with no juice in the on position of the switch. I already tried changing ignition switches last night and also changed the starter solenoid with no improvement. Does anyone have any ideas?? Thanks for any help.
