Happy Saturday everyone!

Am trying to diagnose a starting problem (won't start; turning the key gives nothing; 12v coming to the ignition switch at the black/yellow wire, but nothing going out; I get a click out of the solenoid when jumping from solenoid + to solenoid S, but no crank).

Anyway... in the process of troubleshooting at the solenoid, I see this thing attached. The markings are what you can see, plus "Tung Sol 20A 12V" stamped on the back. There's a big black wire (BBW) coming out of it, not sure where it goes.

Can someone please tell me what this is? Could this be related to my starting issue...?

TIA,
-Bob-

It looks like a circuit breaker.

It's a circuit breaker. You can buy one from a local part store for cheap. I'm not sure for the 65, but on foxbodys those are used for power locks, convertible tops, etc. So i doubt that has anything do to with the starter.
