won't run
my 79 ford f250 4x4 i just am putting back together almost done. i had it running then i shut it off, put anti-freeze in it then it wouldn't even turn over. i replaced the sylenoid, battery. and i think my ignition box it might be on the drivers side started ewwsing like a clear sticky and soft stuff out of it. would that mean i should replace that or what. my starter isn't even turning over.
thanks ahead of time

check solonoid
check the solonoid by taking a wire from the battery side and toutching the one with the S on it. it should click and crank over. after that you need to start working your way back up the wiring harness. and about that box, keep an eye on it so it dosent get hot and light on fire.
good luck

Maybe voltage regulator..maybe you should run a block to body ground wire...check relay probes with test light with key in on, and crank position, make sure you are getting spark. Make sure all wires are connected just incase. Good luck

What was the problem with it? Also, you planning on posting pics in your gallery?
