Car: LOWERED ♦ CRIMSON METALFLAKE
Engine: ► 400 KUBES ◄
Transmission: 765R4
Axle/Gears: EATON POSI 4.56
Fusibility Feasibility

The most likely cause of your problem is a loose, dirty or defective battery cable connection on the + battery cable at the starter.


Happy Racing !

Yup, start at the batt and work your way toward the loads...

Batt cables (both, at both ends), and fusible links, are the most likely. Use your meter and find where the voltage changes from 12.x to 0.
