I'm sure this has been gone through a lot. I have a 1966 F-100 that has a '70s 460. It was running fine then one day it got harder to start throughout the day. I've changed out the solenoid, starter and checked for a fusible link. Nothing. The solenoid clicked when I jump the wires. I only got hazard lights. I changed the starter and now nothing. The battery is 3 years old and the numbers are good. Is it possible that it could still be the battery? Thank you for any information. I do plan on rewiring it, just have to move it from its current location.

I bought it already swapped. The original owner died and the wife doesn't know anything about it.

Get the battery load tested. The Auto stores can do that.
