So I just got a 52 chevy deluxe and decided to re-wire it with a 12volt kit from ron francis I have ran the wires per the diagram i recieved with my kit and when I went to start it and... NOTHING at all so now I dont know what to do any help would be great. Has any one used the ron francis Retro Series kit before? any pictures of starter wiring mounts etc. would be nice to thanks in advance for your time and help
I think one of Ron Francis's selling points is that they will help you with troubleshooting the installation. And they supposedly keep all your info on file forever. Try giving them a call.
I've had fantastic results with his kits. I'd check your grounds, and go over the instructions and recheck your connections in the starting system again, and if it still wont start, definitely give them a call with your I.D. number, that's what you pay a bit more for with a Ron Francis kit.
Ron Francis' tech support is very good, you always get a live human who knows his stuff. If the whole system is dead, it's probably going to trace to something like a poor ground connection rather than a problem in the wiring harness.
Good to hear Ron Francis is still using one on one to trouble shoot problems. I bought on of his kits when he had only been in business a couple of years and had a small problem during installation. A call got me someone who really knew what was up and in a matter of a few minutes I was back on track. Frank
Thanks for the help guys. I went back through the wires again and found that the wire going to the starter from the ignition had a bad connection so i put a new ring terminal on and it cranked over
