Hi, I have a 1955 Ford 660 that won't start. The guy we bought it from had partially rewired/rebuilt it using some automotive parts, and bypassing the push button starter.
It ran when we bought it, but going through some brush pulled some wires loose and now it won't run. I have rewired it, and replaced the solenoid,alternator (now one wire), carburetor, ignition coil (now internally resisted), ammeter, and temperature gauge. I believe it is a 12V system and is negatively grounded, but I'm not really sure of anything anymore.
I've had a mechanic and an electrical engineer helping me, with no luck. We had gotten to the point where we at least had engine cranking, but now I get no reaction when pushing the starter switch. Please help if you can, I'm extremely frustrated. Thanks.
