Two more hard starts in the last weeek. One Saturday morning, engine was hot. One Monday night, engine was cold. Each time a screwdriver on the starter got her to start.
OK, I'm trying one last thing before swapping the distributor.
I noticed on the '64 that I recently bought, it had a remote starter solenoid. Presumably for hot starts as it's a 283. Doing some research on my problem I found this page:
adding remote solenoid I took the one off the '64 and installed on the '65 wiring it up just like the diagram shows. I checked voltage and now I have 10.9 instead of 9.9 at "S" terminal. Don't know if 1 extra volt will help or not.
Joe, looking at the wiring diagram, the purple wire runs from S terminal to ignition switch. When key is turned to crank engine, I have 10.9V at ignition switch on purple wire terminal. The red power wire at ignition switch is 12.1V. Does the red power wire at ignition switch feed power to purple wire and then down to starter? Or vice-versa, turning the key allows power from bat. terminal thru solenoid and up the purple wire towards ignition switch?
What I did kinda seems like a weird fix, if it does fix the problem but, I just don't know what else to do.
