<VV> VirtualVairs Digest, Vol 134, Issue 34

[HOWARD COLLINS]

Hi, I have a 62 Rampside that I bought last summer. It was sitting for 5 years supposedly. It doesn't run. When I first brought it home it turned over but that changed as I goofed around with different troubleshooting ideas. It went from turning over to nothing and then the starter was hung up. What It comes down to is I have replaced all the ignition components, including the coil, dist. cap , Spark Plug wires, Battery and Starter, solenoid.  I even replaced the ignition switch. Nothing. No turning over of the engine at all. Today, I was crawling around under the dash and found some dubious looking splices made to some of the wiring. Am I correct that wiring harnesses are a major problem on these?
