Battery ends gave me a similar problem.... I'd go for a drive, stop and get gas, and she wouldn't start. Found that tapping the terminals with a hammer would make the ends make contact and was good for a few more starts, then had to repeat the whole procedure. But eventually the poor connections weakened the battery, so I replaced the ends when I replaced the battery..... No problem since.

Rob always shares with everybody !!!

I have always shared mine. rob-e

May 28th ALMOST finds us in the teens in our countdown. Today the countdown brings us to the last of the twenty days. As of today we are at 20 days and a wake-up before our first members arrive in Carlisle. Tomorrow our countdown enters the teens. rob

So, you’re finally going to share some of yours Robbie ?:)

Ronnie, we will be sure to have some Metamucial on ice for you. rob

Be safe everyone. This year has definitely been a bad one for bad storms in many areas. When I first moved here to Pittsburgh back in 1972 tornado's were pretty much unheard of but that has changed over the years. From 1972 to the mid to late 80's we didn't have any but since then they have been more frequent. When I was stationed in Blytheville, Arkansas from 1969 to 1972 we had a number of tornado warnings. This year from Texas, through the mid-west and eastbound the tornado's have been almost too many to count. Stay safe out there and when these warnings hit find a safe place to hunker down. rob

Yes i heard i think 38 touched down, Glad you guys are all good!!! l Like Glen said, could of been worse, Thank God it wasn't!!!!!

thank you Wayne. haven't beat it yet. just in the middle of it all . their waiting to see where the cancer remanifests itself. it's a form of leukemia after the pancreatic cancer. the waiting and uncertainty are as bad as the next rounds of chemo and radiation to start again in august. the neuropathy has me just short of a vegetable. but trying to stay strong. you have all been a great Strength to me . sure have needed it. again all thank you.

Steve, life always throes a curve. I certainly have had my own health problems. It sounds like from the other guys that you beat the cancer. Now like Rob said, take one day at a time and just do what you can. I would like to see a picture of your of your SS Monte,even if it's not finished. Blessings my friend. Wayne.

Yea I'll be poppin Aleve for the next few days 🤣 Popped an adult beverage at 4:30 , I was whooped 🤣 But yea thankful that it wasnt worse, just not what I had planned to be doing for the next few days.

Much to my demise, I was a Rusty Wallace fan back then 🤣

Sounds like you came real close to some major s&$t Mark. Better a couple days of clean up and inconvenience than property damage (or worse).

Jeff Gordon was a beast back then.

thank you all this part of my life wasn't expected you are a great group of people

I made a quick run to a nearby Home Depot in my ‘70 4-speed (no gear selector) and it would not even click when I tried to start it. The neutral safety switch is disabled so I knew it wasn’t that. I had a similar surprise stall on my wife’s Lexus the year before and that turned out to be simply a slightly corroded, top-mounted battery terminal so I checked that. Sure enough, removing, cleaning and re-seating the battery terminals was all it took to get it started. I had never encountered that on a side-mounted terminal before. I suggest you inspect/clean your battery terminals. Good luck.

Try moving your gear selector slightly when you are trying to start. That's how I found out mine was out of adjustment.

I had this problem on my 70 with floor shift Turbo 400. The neutral safety switch was out of adjustment. On the floor shift cars it is at the shifter. On the column shift cars I believe it mounted on the steering column. If you jumper the switch and it starts ok you found that its the adjustment or a bad switch. It sounds like an adjustment issue to me.

Went on a poker run Saturday and at the first stop my car wouldn't start, nothing, no starter click, nothing. Key in run position and crawled underneath, not an easy task for a 71 year old, anyway jumped the selinoid and fired right up. Left it running for the rest of the run. Once home shut it off and now starts fine. I am guessing either a faulty safety neutral switch or ignition switch. Any other thoughts? I hate when problems are intermittent!

Terrible storms here in Ky yesterday at 2 pm and again this morning at 130 am.. thunder actually made the house shake 🫨!!. Loudest thunder I’ve heard in my entire life.. Glad no one was injured there mark. 5 killed in Ky …

Getting closer, gathering things I need to take in one spot so hopefully I don’t forget something.. car is ready as it will ever be.. no more upgrades scheduled before then.. Dang ! If you have to be 21 in PA to enjoy an adult drink, that leave me out.:( ..

I mentioned fishing and unfortunately I wasn't able to do any but I will be fishing cold beverages out of the cooler while bench racing

The first thing that popped into my mind was the Neutral Safety Switch. rob

Steve, just like your cancer treatments, A Day At A Time. Apply that same philosophy to getting your SS cleaned up and looking good again, just take it A Day At A Time. Small Steps. The older I get I find it easier to take jobs around the house in small bites. Still gets done, just not as quickly. rob
