I had to order an ignition for my 67 as it didn't come with one.
So I wanted to test the starter - by directly bypassing the solenoid.
I first tested that I had a decent ground to the block from the batter terminal.
When I jump the 12v from the battery terminal directly to the bolt on the starter I get a terrible spark - if I hold it the stater spins up - but I litterly have to pull the cable off of the terminal as it seems like its fusing itself to the terminal. Something is just not right.
Any ideas why it would do this?
