Hi all,
This truck sat for some time. The pistons stuck, but they freed up without any trouble. I go to turn the key and I hear a click. When I let off, I hear a clunk. What could this be? The solenoid? I'm using a battery from a 300 ford. This should at least be enough to turn it a little I think.
The battery wires are new and the terminals are clean, I think the solenoid is too, but maybe from sitting it went bad? I had the ground cable of the battery bolted to the head with the valve cover off, and to the radiator support. No luck with either. I have not tried to directly jump the starter yet.
The lights do work, I know this probably doesn't mean a thing.
This is an old carbed 460 in a 1978 bronco. Ive been told it's not the factory engine.
