Confusing issue which has been compounded by frequent torential rain and being on-call with 15+ hour days. Short back ground.... Steve and I were attempting to get my valves adjusted which was cut short by heavy rain. When I attempted to start the car later, nothing would happen. The battery seems good. Lights and accessories work. The starter can be manually jumped but I can't get action from the starter by using the ignition switch. The only thing I did out of the ordinary was absent mindedly leave the key switched one click up to unlock the wheel and left it that way for a while but not so far the fuel pump was running. I don't think that would cause an issue but figued I'd throw it in there. There are also two what looks like relays of some sort which I hope someone can clue me in on. The one in the pic is the one up top and the other one not pictured but looks very similar is wired to the starter. I should also add it's a standard points setup.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Saturday will be the earliest I could look at it unless I can bribe Steve with cash to get on it heheh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Attached image(s) |

If this rain ever quits, I will remove the relay to the starter and see what happens. Might even do the DMM test to the battery. If it ends up being the switch, that is an easy repair. If all years are the same, I should have a spare switch somewhere. Got to get it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

The 73 has a little plastic knob sticking out that the 72 does not, but they are otherwise identical. I have in my 72 today a 73 switch with it's appendage removed by 10 seconds of hacksaw. I have no info on the 71's or post 74's. |
