Hey everyone. I recently bought a 1974 Ford F100 302 V8. After having driven it an hour it starts stalling at idle. So I just kept starting it back up. Then as I drive into my driveway the truck dies and doesn't start at all. One click and then silence. No cranking. The headlights and dash lights are working though. The battery is good. I swapped out the voltage regulator, plugs, and alternator and still nothing. I plan on looking at the grounds tomorrow. However if anyone is local to Chesapeake I could really use a hand. I'd really appreciate it.

 

Starter solenoid, which also controls whether the ignition is fed +12V or via ballast resistor. Possibly ignition switch. Then check the ignition itself.

 

Not sure what part of Chesapeake you're from, but down in Great Bridge there is a shop named Wargo, he is a great mechanic, very knowledgeable but also very busy. If you can get in there I highly recommend. Did great work on my 75 Ford and 77 Chrysler
