Connected the battery and no power.. no lights, horn etc.. checked battery and it is good.. don't see any disconnected wires anywhere.
Any ideas?

This connection is normally made using the stud on the switch located on the. top of the starter. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1948_51truck/51ctsm1203.htm

Removing the Starter breaks the positive line. Battery to Starter, Starter to Ammeter - to everything else. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Be sure to disconnect the - lead from the battery before reinstalling the starter. I'm wondering how you got the starter out without arcing. | | |
