[Chevelle-List] Seeking Technical Help ?

[Misterbowtie66]

Hello Everyone.....

Iam seeking some help with a strating and electrical problem. Yesterday I fired up my 66 Chevelle and everything ran fine , had no problems with anything. This morning I went down to the garage to start it again nothing happen. Put on the charger for a while and still nothing. Went to check the connections on the coil and the wire running from the coil to the starter was hot enough to melt in my fingers and the coil was as hot . Can't figure this out how yesterday started fine and today nothing. I have a 350 cu in and the starter and solenoid are in one ( meaning attached ) . I had a problem once with the wire running from the postive terminal to the ignition swicth and replaced that but this now something new. The car is still in the works and not on the road yet.......someone said something to me about a ballast resistor ?? Is this something that came with the 66 Chevelle , when I got the car is was mess but did see such an animal.....This list has been very informative and ! you guys have offered lots of advice that has helped me with various problems. I usually don't ask for much advice, but I need some help this time.....thanks again
