1974 Plymouth Duster Restomod

Well the engine would crank over but barely when I had the battery on the charger so I bought a new battery 700 cold cranking amps. I installed the battery and tried to crank over the motor and it wouldn't so I checked the voltage of it. It was only at 12.5V so I left it on a 2amp charge until it said it was fully charger and hooked it up to a battery tester and it turned out to be bad. So I returned that battery and exchanged it for another one and made sure this battery was good before taking it. I got to the shop and tried to start the car, but it wouldn't crank at all and I only got a click from the starter. It wouldn't even turn it over a little bit.

I was a little worried that maybe something internally had come loose or I had made some mistake installing something and it was in some sort of bind. However I turned the motor over by hand several complete revoloutions and was happy that it would. The starter would still not turn the engine over however though. So I ordered a new high torque/compression mini starter and will be installing it onto the car today.

Hopefully if all goes well I will have some videos of the first start up to post tomorrow!

If not well it will be on to the next problem, but let's hope that it starts.
