Turns out there is no problem with the alternator. When Adam said he couldn't start the Mach we assumed the battery was dead. That was not the case. I got in it over the weekend, hit the key and it clicked. I hit the key again and it started right up. Must be a connection problem some place, although it's started ok since. Will have to check it out.

Sure you got a full charge? Also could just be a dodgy ignition switch or a combo. My vette does this frequently when the battery is a little low, but never when fully charged (right off the charger at 100%).

Is it just clicking the starter like it did with the bad battery or is it doing something different?

[Mach1Daddy]

It did not have the continuous click like with the bad battery. It clicked once, I released the key, hit it again and it started right up. Have not had the problem again - so far.

It could be because of the dual solenoids or that the old one is going bad. Remember that the new starter has a solenoid on it and that the instructions showed us to wire from the original to the new. If it happens again I check the old solenoid and the old wiring going to that solenoid. The wiring going from the old one to the new one shouldn't be an issue since I mounted it in the heat shield and routed it to the oil pan away from the exhaust but you can double check it as well.

How's the Mach running?
