For all you experts out there, I am having an issue where as long as I keep the key engaged with the starter, the car starts and engine runs fine. As soon as I release the key to "run" position, it cuts off. Thoughts? Battery is new and good. Starter is new and good. New plugs and wires...

Hello all. I've searched around and haven't nailed down an answer so maybe someone has the answer. I'm not a rookie on old cars but I'm not too proud to ask for help. Here's the background info: My '55 6 cylinder has gone through 4 batteries in 2 years. The batteries were brand new and this...

I have read the other posts on this and other sites but still unclear on the wiring for the wiper motor on 57 bel air (possibility i am just dense). I gather run wire from resistor to motor for 12V, but where does it connect and where does the ground wire connect? Appreciate the help as been...

Hi Folks, I turned off my 57 Bel Air - running smoothly - and tried to start it again about 30 minutes later. Heard a click but the starter did not engage. All dash lights work. Battery shows full charge. Both battery cables are tight at both ends. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Rob

Hi Everyone! In the past I have asked, and received, wonderful help for my e-problems with my 57 wagon which I did a frame-off, complete rebuild including new wiring harness and all associated parts. All electrical worked fine for about a month then idiot light came on (flickered and remained on...

well, being a new member, I didn't have much in the way of questions, till now. I'm building a 1957 150 2 door sedan. I envision it looking similiar to some I've see on here in Tropical Turquoise and India Ivory trunk area. Problem I'm having is finding a starter that will mate up to my motor...

Recently the "GEN" light on my '57 came on and stays on. I have a non-original 283 with no power steering and a generator. Up until this point, no new work was done on the car. Nothing was replaced or changed. Everything was working fine. I checked the battery with battery from another car...

During a warm restart of my 57, the car stop cranking after about 3-5 seconds, and all of the dash lites went out. None of the electrical components (head lights, signals, driving lites, etc) are no longer working. Any thoughts on where to start looking?
