Hi everybody, I'm new to the forums and a new owner of a 66 mustang. I love the car and its been running great. However, I was driving today and hit a really large pothole. Not long after the car sputtered and died. Now I can't get the car to start. Anyone have any ideas on what it might be. I've checked most of the hoses and lines and everything seems fine. I'm no grease monkey so any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.
 
Is it getting fuel? How about spark? Does it turn over? If it turns over but does not start, look at fuel and spark. Pull a plug wire and use a screwdriver to space from a ground to see if you have spark. If no fuel, try a small shot of starter fluid and try to start. Need to know a bit more of what it is "not" doing to help more specific. Most likely something simple like a wire loose on the battery, starter, solenoid, or even the ing switch.
