I did the bypass and no go. Basically the Right (firewall side) large post and the left small post S have no juice no matter what I do. I have two starter solenoids and tried both with the same result. I voltmetered the bypass and I'm good with juice from female to female. I have no idea why I can't show any voltage anytime or any key postion from the S terminal or the rightside large post...... any last thoughts?

okay, sorry it's not female to female. Looked at the wiring diagram. The connection is heterosexual, it's the two blue/red wires, one male and one female. Looks like yours are painted, might need a little paint thinner to clean them off or just make two jumpers.

Married to Tara, that makes me the TARA-fied one!

You sir solved it. I ripped apart the dash and ignition area and tested all the wires with the volt meter. The female to female didn't do anything. As soon as I read your last post I tried it and finally the key turned the engine  :craz  Thank you all for everything. I would have never figured it out without the assitance of all of you. Thank you once again.

Sweeeeeeeet.... Actually the female/male connections make more sense if you think about it...sorry I steered you wrong.

Thank you all again.

Now I am going to have to replace the distributor and I am hoping to get it to fully start with the key. Then all I need to do is hook up the drive shaft, find a throttle return spring for my edelbrock, hook up the gas pedal, Figure out how to redo the drum brakes, get a brake master cylinder, figure out how to put tranny fluid in the t-10, and I should be able to move it around the yard.

I need to find a radiator to eventually because I know its not all that good to be idling moving the car with no radiator lol. The stock 68 is completely gunked from sitting for 20 years. I need to find a new radiator or figure out how to clean out the 68 to use for now.

Make sure the tranny fluid is 90W, not automagic tranny fluid!

tranny fluid in the t-10


You mentioned earlier that this car was being built to take to the drag strip.  Understand that the T-10 is the weakest possible transmission that will bolt up to your 351 Cleveland.  The T-10 was not used behind any of the higher rated HP motor options and never behind a Cleveland.  If you get the tires to stick on a hard launch.... you may want to have a trailer standing by to get the car home.

So then that means I would need to find a top loader? what are good 5 and 6 speed tranny's? World class t-5's? t-56's?

Yes, yes and yes.... with the Toploader probably being the strongest for the least amount of money.

If this car is being slapped together mostly for strip runs, I stongly recommend an automatic transmission instead of a manual.  There's no worse feeling than hitting third gear at 60 MPH and having the rearend break loose causing the car to get squirrely on you.
