This truck ran and started fine before I let it sit for about 2 1/2 years of ever trying to start it. All I hear now when I try to start it is a click, click noise down either by the solonoid or in engine bay some where. I tried the old cross the solonoid with screwdriver trick but it did not engage the starter with key on. Just sparks flew. I banged on everything with hammer, starter and solonoid. Any ideas or just take out the starter and go from there? This motor has the distributer in the front near the fan/water pump. What size motor would it be? Wizard Guns, God, and Country.

It'd be a big block & the only sizes available afaik would be a 383 or a 440. I dont think the 400 came out till 71 model year. Look at the smooth machined pad down by the dist for a stamped # as it might not have the original eng. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

They were used up to 75 for sure and maybe later in the larger D series trucks 67 Charger 383 auto 75 Dodge CNT 800 CAT Diesel 2012 Ram Crew cab 5.7 4x4

I use it every weekend for another truck and it is not week. Looks like I will try the breaker bar or drop the starter. Thnks, wizard Guns, God, and Country. U.S. Veteran
