Re: [Classic Mustang] 1965 Mustang starter question. Please, I need advice

I don't know what size engine you have but the 351 in my opinion should have always had a high torque starter. Some set ups have a runner or wire from ignition to starter then to solenoid. if power is diminished (due to strain from starter) Then you may need to install a high torque starter. However before you do, I would check the wires on your starter. if it is a three wire starter then make sure two of them are not reversed.   I hope this helps Dan --- On Sat, 4/11/09, jeffrocksjenny <jeffrocksjenny@yahoo.com> wrote: From: jeffrocksjenny <jeffrocksjenny@yahoo.com> Subject: [Classic Mustang] 1965 Mustang starter question. Please, I need advice To: classicmustang@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, April 11, 2009, 2:02 AM 1965 Mustang Starter question? Whenever I put the keys into the ignition to turn the car over the mustang will do nothing. All I hear is one click from the voltage regulator. So far I have replaced the battery, red battery cable, and starter relay switch (solenoid). Still no luck. When I apply a screwdriver to the "hot" post on the solenoid to start it, the starter seems to stay engaged now when the engine begins to run. A terrible shrieking sound occurs. I'm not sure if mt next step is to replace the starter or could there be a problem with the ignition switch wiring??? Just throwing out some ideas. I'm a beginner and would appreciate the advice someone with more experience may have. I'm spent more money on this than I would have liked so far. Time to ask for help. Much appreciated. Again, when I insert the keys into the ignition all I still get is a click from the voltage regulator. When I bypass the ignition and use the hot post on the relay switch to start the Mustang a terrible screeching noise occures. I think the starter is not disengaging. When the engine is turned off it sounds like the starter is "winding down". Much apprecited! Jeff 1965 Mustang GT
