I have a 1974 Dodge Charger SE and it will not even attempt to turn over, even if I try to jump start it. When I turn the key the gauge leans towards D- and away from C+. What's the problem?

Asked by DMBW23 Jun 20, 2015 at 06:31 AM about the 1974 Dodge Charger

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The battery in the car has been dead
before, do I just need a new battery?
Or is it something wrong with the
alternator?

A 40 year old car will probly need new EVERYTHING- that is a cool almost-classic, so why not just start restoring it? start with the starter-

Check the electric ingnition moduel on the fire wall. Two screws and plug. Its eather good or bad.
