So my 67 Firebird has been sitting for about 3 years (work, 2 kids, etc...) Motor is a 326 that has about 10k miles since rebuild, so everything is pretty new on the car.
It used to run and start perfectly fine.
It has now been sitting and will not turn over. There no noise or anything.
I have bench tested the starter and it is good. I have a brand new battery. Lights, interior lights, etc all turn on.
I have a few blown fuses but have swapped in a few different fuses into the 10A Ignition slot. I am going to replace all the fuses tomorrow just because some were blown.
I do not get current to the right terminal on the solenoid when the ignition is turned to start it.
Could my actual key ignition have failed? Where should I check next?
The motor had a new Accel super coil and Fireball XR700 5 years back as well, The distributor is pulled and not plugged in as I was flipping it back over to TDC to re-start and time. Also I have changed the oil, primed the motor and filled with fresh gas so I am decently prepped to start. Also the crank turns over with a wrench so it is not seized.
Thanks for the help!!
