Hello comrades, Today I spent the day trying to manually re-attach each individual wire on the instrument cluster of my 76 beater wagon I I attached wire crimps to the bronze connector strips, cut the plug that fit inside the original cluster back which apparently is made of nothing more than the ashes of Henry Ford himself, and fit wires leading to each other. Not to mention I have just enough of my backing to duct tape my gauges to the cluster itself. Needless to say the shizod barley works I see like 3 lights on and no gauge activity. Anywaays the reason im posting is because I have a confusing starter issue. right now if I try to turn it over it just buzzes by the starter, but no movement. At times when I turn it over the starter will stick running and turning over as the car is running in which case I disconnect the the battery and call it a day. Then at other times if ive previously tryed to start, failed, and put on a 2 amp charge, the *EXPLETIVE DELETED* thing will spark loudly as soon as the negative battery goes on. As far as I can tell the starter works fine, the main problem is current running to it when it shouldnt. Or A gounding issue but the starter grounds are tight, so im wondering if the key lock cylinder housing having bad ground can cause this as i replaced the key lock cylinder and various other possible things that could be causing a short or bad sticking connection. The weird thing is when ive been messing with it for a few days and the car feels like it itll eventually start up and run strong, but since its a manual I stall constantly which calls for using the key and ignition system and eventually, usually luck runs out and that *EXPLETIVE DELETED* starter starts running with the car again or just plays dead. Go to the store, smoke a joint and bam itll fire up first try as long as you give it to her and thats usually enough to get home.One more possibility is if the spring in the key lock that pushes the ignition rod is worn or somthing causing it to not move all the way after an attempt to crank the car over. Any advice/ input appreciated , fire at will
