Check the fuseable links for being burned out. Also the wiring runs very close to the hot exhaust manifold. Carefully inspect the wires going to the starter. You should also relocate the battery ground cable from the exhaust manifold to the power steering pump mounting bolt. I did that with my 1970 Catalina. Worked great. Hope that helps! Jim
