    Bought a Ron Frances retro wiring harness for a small block chevy think I wired it correctly but when I turn key nothing happens. Battery is charged and it seems everything but the starting system works. Any ideas on what I messed up. It has a accel dist and coil.

    Thanks for any help. Chuck

    Get your test light out and start at the ignition switch.

    Only a couple of things it could be, I think. Make sure your connections at the solenoid are correct. Check to see if you have power at the ignition switch. Check the wiring between the two.

    Yeah make sure your solenoid is wired correctly. S on solenoid for starting and I for distributor. Also make sure solenoid is good, fastest way is cross S post on solenoid to batt cable mount on solenoid, byp***es everything.
