Just want to help a buddy start a truck to check the engine. I guess it's like "hot wiring".  I should add that this is a 1959 261 engine.

For starting the first time, I like to power the coil separately from a battery charger. That way you get the best possible spark even when the starter is drawing a load. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 |
