Ok, I know this is a stupid question. But I don't know the answer.
Here goes I am working on Fireball and I need to figure out a way to get it to turn over. Now to remind all of you, it does not have any fuses or a fuse block under the hood or dash. So is there a way I can just get it to turn over with the battery hooked up? Now this is without me getting the shizzle shocked out of me also,  !Thanks guys for any input. BTW- I am wanting to do a compression check on her. -------------------- Thanks, Bud!

Tools needed:
1/2 inch breaker bar tire changing tools Procedure: Jack up the front of the car Take the drivers side wheel off stick the breaker bar in the square key in the middle of the crankshaft pulley rotate clockwise Then you'll be able to tell if that motor is locked up or not. If you're wanting it to run, I don't think it's possible without the fuse blocks. Not sure if this helps you with your compression test or not. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

You'll need to apply power to the starter solenoid. You can do that running a small wire from the battery and touching to the spade connector on the solenoid. You will get a spart or two. Ideally you want a switch momentary switch inline with the proper capacity.

Quick and dirty?
Assuming that the wire from the battery to the starter is still intact just use a nice pair of insulated pliers to jumper the two posts. Might get a few sparks but it will work. -------------------- Fast & Furious on the outside...DSM under the hood!!!
