[Chevelle-list] Trouble with the starter on the 69 Chevelle

[DonnieG67@aol.com]

A member of mine is  having problems with his starter??  You guys have any 
suggestions??   Here's his story........ 
Morning guys (or  gals, depending on who opens this email), 
I’m having trouble  with the starter on the Chevelle. Last night I went to 
start the car it  wouldn’t start. Turn the key and nothing. No click, no 
nothing. Everything else  works, headlights, radio, interior light, etc. I was able 
to jump start the car  by coasting and letting the clutch out. It took me about 
twenty-five minutes to  get home. I turned the car off once in the garage, 
then tried starting the car  again. The car started without hesitation. This is 
typical when ever I  experience this problem. This might happen twice in a 
week or it may happen once  every couple months. The only consistency is it never 
seems to happen in cool  weather. 
I’m considering the  following items next, 
- by passing the  neutral safety switch. 
- installing a new  ignition switch. 
A little  history, 
This started around  three years ago. At that time I had a rebuilt GM high 
torque starter. I  installed a reduction starter from Jeg’s about six weeks ago 
giving into the  heat soak theory with the stock starter and headers. I 
considered changing the  battery cable along with the starter but it looked in 
perfect shape, no damage  or corrosion. 
Any ideas or  suggestions????? 
Thanks in  advance! 
Donnie
