My buddy at work bought a 56' two door Bel Air from my uncle. Has a small block out of a 70's truck but he got a decent deal. He called me over the other day because it wouldn't start. The aftermarket digital dash in it won't even light up until you wiggle or remove/reinstall the high tension wire from the coil to the distributor. Then we have power again. Pretty sure we have a bad contact somewhere between battery/ignition switch/aftermarket dash. He got some factory analog gauges to replace the digital unit. Still, weirdest shit I have seen in awhile

Sounds like it's time to clean up the contacts/wires between the coil, distributor, battery and starter.

Whoops!
Electrical gremlins back at work this week. Went shopping a couple days ago and didn't get the trunk shut all the way again. ~ 265 mV left in the battery this morning. Going to find a neighbor to get a jump start to get a bit of charge in. The battery tender doesn't sense enough to even try starting to charge it. edit: got back from an hour drive for a bump charge. Reads 12.76 now so the tender has something to bite into. It's blinking green lights now on the tender.

If I had a '56, and money to burn, I would put this under it with an LS and 6mt.

He has an appointment to take it into a specialty shop on Tuesday. I'd rewire it for him proper, I just don't have time. He ordered an ignition switch, and picked up a set of factory gauges locally. We weren't able to rule out the ignition switch in the time I had to look at it. I'm pretty sure it is something to do with everything tying together at the ignition switch.

We tried that, and we tried a new coil.
