Apologies for lack of vehicle identification. I have a 46 1/2 ton with a 235 out of a 53 Bel Air. You are correct, the foot start has been removed.
I'm unsure if the coil or ballast resistor were changed when it was switched to 12v. I did get a new 12v coil and repeated all my voltage readings with both coils and got basically the same numbers. The 12v coil dropped to 4.5 after the ballast resistor which didn't seem correct.
I haven't tried to use the new coil since the numbers were the same. I also checked the ohms on both coils and they were the same as well.
I'll have to look into the solenoid, but don't have much confidence in any of the local auto parts stores.
Something is still not adding up. Any additional advice would be appreciated.
