Alright, so I put a new wire harness into my car over the early summer and am finally gettin some more time. So here is where I am at:
Headlights, interior, radio, ect all work fine. The engine is all wired up; there are a couple extra wires that appear to be for the A/C which my car doesn't have and the new harness did. I have a weisco HEI distributor. The starter is a reman but is kinda garbage (will be replacing soon, just trying to get it running).
I have the pos. on the Ign. coil wired to the DBL* that is marked for Ignition 1, it leads off the Ign. switch into the bulk head point marked N on my diagram (haynes). The distributor from there is wired to the coil + to + and - to -.
The starter relay is wired correctly. I kinda question the neutral safety switch wire. It runs from the same bulk head connector as the wiper motor and I may have it connected wrong. However, the neutral safety switch has 3 wires that run to a plug, and then to the bulk head. The bulk head then has a single wire lead, that is what I have attached to my "neutral safety switch" spot on the starter relay.
The starter is then ran to the battery with it's obvious wires. When I turn the key... NOTHING happens. It doesn't even sound like it wants to turn over, it does not sound like I have power at all. All my lights and acc. work, so it has a proper ground.
My thoughts are maybe
A. Dead starter
B. Wrong ign. wire to coil
C. Bad starter relay
D. NO CLUE
or any or all of the above
I know that was long and probably kinda confusing.
Thanks a lot in advance!
