<VV> electrical questions 63 car

[Matt Nall]

Yesterday I was cranking the 63' trying to get fuel drawn through the lines and 
get her started...  suddenly I had no power whatsoever.. no dome light.. 
nothing.  No sign of a short... when I connect the battery terminals there is no 
spark etc. (yes the battery is ok).

 Not a"short"... you have an "OPEN CIRCUIT"    Most likely the main harness connector in the engine compartment.

Hey folks,

Yesterday I was cranking the 63' trying to get fuel drawn through the lines and 
get her started...  suddenly I had no power whatsoever.. no dome light.. 
nothing.  No sign of a short... when I connect the battery terminals there is no 
spark etc. (yes the battery is ok).

Also while on that topic, the two leads that connect to the generator... which 
goes to which post?  What happens if they are hooked up backwards?  Could this 
cause the above symptom?  I'm pretty certain they are hooked up the way they 
came off, but don't have a manual yet for the early car.

Thanks for any help you can give!
