Thanks --- The to do list is getting longer. You are right - sometimes with these old cars it make you think there are gremlins just running around doing stuff to give us grief. LOL
Yes it was all good. After hooked up the radiator hose it started great. no issue. Ran it for about 5 minutes - it idled fine. killed it to check for leaks and then put the breather cover back on. Did the restart and it would not fire up. did that for a bit then improvised with the fuel .
I have a 70 challenger 340 with 6-pak. Recently changed the thermostat housing and battery cable. I started the engine and it did great. Turned it off and then tried to start it again and it would not start.
Seemed to be not getting any fuel. I added a little gas through the carb and it...
I haven' taken the old one off but it is brittle and corroded. General question. is there another cable from the starter that connects to this cable. I am sure the new battery cable will not reach.
Plan on doing the repair this weekend. So any advice is appreciated
