Thanks, John. I think I located the source in the bulkhead. Overall it's timely as a few connectors (the alternator) are burnt so I am replacing and cleaning connectors.
Probably should have done this a long time ago.
I've had the car for 12 years and haven't touched any wiring, but that's not to say the PO didn't make changes. I will start under the dash. Not sure if a mouse got in over the winter and did some chewing.
Hi John - '67 300 with factory points ignition. Had a Pertronix but I removed it and re-installed the points during the troubleshooting. The points were shorted to ground with the gap open which is what started the chase to find the short.
The short is actually in the wire, not the sending...
I am experiencing an issue with a short on the oil pressure switch wire. Some background: I picked up the car from it's winter resting spot. Started perfectly and drove home for 30 minutes with no issues. Parked the car in the garage at home and left it for 2 weeks. Tried to start it this week...
Never mind Billie Eilish, did you see this dude sitting in the audience? Basically, I have no talent so I'll paint my face like a freak to attract attention...
