It's a 55 Chevy, but it has a new 350 GM High Performance carte motor with electronic ignition.
I've been laid up and couldn't drive it for 2 years, and stupidly didn't start it every month or so. Usually when it's been sitting, it does have a battery disconnect which I use, I shoot a little starting fluid in and it starts right up.
Not this time. I charged the battery, sprayed some starting fluid and got nada. The interior light comes on but I don't even get the solenoid clicking.
Headlights don't come on, the ignition switch doesn't have to be on for the headlights to come on, so I'm thinking it's not the ignition switch itself.
Before I call in some pro help, am I missing something obvious?
Thanks.
