Ok guys I'm coming back here for some Chrysler help.
I'm a Chevy/foreign car guy so I'm lost on some of these Chrysler things. Remember my car is a 65 Vette with a 57 Chrysler 392 Hemi.
Now my problem. When I start the car I can't shut off the starter. I switch the ignition back and forth but the starter keeps running. So I had the starter and piggyback solenoid rebuilt by Napa., No luck it still runs on.
Now the odd part. There is a separate solenoid on the frame near the starter??? I replaced that today and it still runs on. Now this combination was put together by a shop in the SFO bay area that built Hemi's for the drag race crowd, so, could this be a smaller starter for weight savings on this big block and hence requires two solenoids?? OR, is this common with older Hemi engines having two solenoids, or, am I missing something.
The next thing I can think of is the ignition switch. When I first pulled everything apart looking for the problem the switch felt fine. Nice firm switch positions but I feel like I'm missing something. The chassis has only around 45,000 miles but then it has been sitting for a long time so I suppose the ignition switch could be bad, just don't know.
