OR, you have excessive voltage drop between the ignition switch and the starter from poor connections, or a weak starter solenoid that won't make contact when it gets hot down there. Here's a relatively easy check; install another wire to the "S" terminal on your solenoid and run it where you

Just sounds like a loose battery cable. Clean and tighten the terminals on the battery, and the ground and starter. I've had the same issue with my '69 and my '94 Z71. It will just click, then no power... wiggle the cables and everything is just fine. Shawn On Jun 17, 2006, at 11:24 PM, RJ

Don't think it will be the timing...if it just clicked its an electrical problem, usually due to a low battery or dead starter but since your starter kicked over sounds like the battery. Did you check the volts before or after you got the car running? The battery will show plenty of charge when it

Having your timing too far advanced can cause hot start problems. I would also have the battery load tested. Most places will do that for free. -Original Message- From: J. Brady [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2006 9:06 PM To: Chevelle Group Subject: [Chevelle-list] wa

Well than I'll give him a call.  When I used Hagertys they would not sell direct.  I had to go thru an agent in the DFW area.   It was a Hagerty policy and Hagerty billed me, but I had to go thru the middle man to buy the policy and pay their commission. On 6/17/06, Clint Hooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]
