Re: JPOR: Chevy 454 question



In a message dated 00-04-08 13:49:14 EDT, you write:

<< Question: The starter will not fire while it's
 cranking.  I have to crank the engine, then turn the
 key back to run before it fires.  This makes it very
 hard to starting, any ideas? >>

If I remember right, there was some ignition wiring through the starter 
solenoid which fed higher voltage to the ignition system during cranking.  
This was on old systems that used points and coils.  You may still have a 
solenoid problem, or maybe a problem with the ignition switch itself.
