Hi all,
I have a 67 RS/SS 350 clone, automatic. I had it out last Sunday for a 20 mile cruise. On the way home, a half mile from home, at a stop sign, it dies. Try to start it, nothing. No click, crank or buzz, nothing. The electric pusher fan is running as its a warm day(85*). The battery cable connections are tight. The cables and the battery were just replaced both cables last year. Checked the wires at the starter, coil, distributor, wiring terminal box that's by the battery,,,,its all tight. After ten minutes or so, the electric fan quits. I tried to start again, fires right up! Ahh, I must've wired the electric fan wrong as I just put it in last year also. I drive home, backing in the garage it dies again. Same thing, nothing happens when I turn the key to start, and the electric fan is on again. I'm thinking now its the fan. After five minutes, the electric fan quits, but it still won't start. I check all the wiring mentioned earlier, can't find anything amiss. After ten minutes or so, she fires up again. I've started it up, let it run until the fan comes on and I can't get it to die in the garage. I've checked voltage at battery, starter, coil, distributor and its all at 12.5 volts. The electric pusher fan is from Summit, came with a wiring kit, switched relay and thermostat. All were installed per the directions. I've been over the engine compartment a couple times since Sunday and I'm at a loss on what to do next. Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated!
Thank you,
Dave
