So the cable on my relay/solenoid to the starter played smoochy with the fins on the alternator which wore through the coating and ate 3/4 of the cable. It remained in contact with the alternator so when the kids tried to start it, they said it made some clicky noise then nothing. I swapped in a spare relay and new cable and still have nothing. I do have power to lights and gauges etc... I will test for power to the starter when I get home.
I have a mid '80's carbureted 302, C4 auto w/50oz flexplate and corresponding harmonic balancer in my '76. I don't know the teeth count on the flywheel. How do I go about sourcing an off the shelf, smaller, modern high-torque starter? I ordered one last year but it ended up being for the stock setup and didn't mesh nice-like with the flexplate. %)
TIA,
David
