In reply to LEE THOMAS HEDGES Question: Why (after jumping the starter terminal) will it start ok and then not after driving it? Should I be looking at replacing the ignition or the starter? Or am I missing something completely?!! I had a simular problem on my 69' squareback. I found that the spade connector on the starter solinoid was loose and had corrosion on it. Upon cleaning it I discovered the wire under the protective plastic shroud was hanging on by a couple of wire strands. I guess depending on the engine vibrations and/or bumpy ride I was lucky the car started at all. I'm sure you have already checked out the connector, but in case you hadn't the might be am easy fix. I got lucky! Those electrons are funny things... Good Luck!!! John Z. 69 Square
