I wanted to first say that this is a great site and to thank those that put it together for all of us cougar fans. This site has given me the motivation I needed to start back to work on my cougar. I have been working on it for close to 12 years now and I have learned more in the last two weeks of viewing this site than the I have in the past years.....Thank you.
Now on to my question:
I have spent the last two weeks getting my 67 standard cougar in running shape so I could get it loaded on a transporter for my move out to Washington State. Things where going well until two nights ago when I was going to take my wife down to the Sonic for burger and....to show the young guys with "fart pipes" what a real car sounds like. HA I got about 2 miles down the road and EVERYTHING just died. No lights no juice to the engine and so forth. I was able to get it started by crossing the solenoid and placing a "jumper" wire from the battery to the coil. I limped it home and started trying to figure out what happened. I replaced the solenoid but still no luck. There is no juice to any accesories in the car. Due to work I have not been able to trace the problem down and the truck shows up in a few days to move the car west. If I don't get it running by then it is an extra $200 for "non-operational" vehicle..... Any help would be appreciated GREATLY. Oh yeah...It has a 302 out of a 69 Fairlane and the original C4 and point distriputer. Battery is new as is the alternator.
Thanks
Stan
