Ignition electrical problems

If you would like them bigger shoot me a PM with your email address, I'll gladly send you them, though they are only slightly larger. I actually have these printed off. I wouldnt imagine the wiring changed too much between 65/67, but I could be wrong.
Using that diagram I would check your red/blue wiring running from the ignition switch to your starter relay. I believe that is the one running to the "start" on the ignition switch. Anyway best of luck let us know how it goes.

Ahhh... I found it.

It turned out to be the starter solenoid. It was strange because the solenoid engaged and the starter turned but it was drawing too much power from the coil to start the car. Everything kept pointing to it except that the starter was turning so I replaced it and she started up like she had been waiting for weeks to roar again.

Oh wait, she was.

Thanks for the diagrams.
