You guys are geniuses!!!!!!!! I ran a ground wire to the body of the car to complete the circuit and .... BOOM! It works (again). @Big_John I didn't feel like wrestling that thing back into the door with the doubt of it not working lingering in the back of my mind. I don't have a clue as to...

@Ross Wooldridge Just did the 12v check I'm getting about 12.9v to the motor plug when I hit either switch I used my Milwaukee battery to check the motor again and yes, it worked both ways. I gotta be missing something

@Ross Wooldridge I do know for a fact that my main switch needs to be repaired due to a visible crack in the board.

UPDATE : Removed the motor, opened it, inspected it, put it back together and did a bench test. Nothing looked damaged AT ALL. IT WORKS!!! Plugged it and the switches back in and NOTHING. I'm assuming it's really the switches. I got the window to close manually for now though. I guess it's...

If anyone is in need of window motors check out this thread... Electric window motors

@Big_John The passenger side vent window on my 65 Imperial was intermittently working (amongst other things not relevant at the moment), but after I drove it one weekend my passenger side vent window wouldn't close. I hear the motor if I hit the switch as if I was trying to open it and it...

How do I get in touch with @Devinism ... No worries... His name populated

I'm guessing somewhere around 2k-3k

I think there's one available here in the Vegas area. I'll get pictures and can even ship it to you via my trucking company www.mbtranzportllc.com

Hello everyone, Thank for all of your input... It's greatly appreciated. Welp, here's the outcome... The sparkplugs were shot and as much as I thought the firing order was correct IT WAS WRONG. I also did away with the electric fan attempt as it entailed TOO much work... However, I did go with...

I thought that as well ... But it was running before he touched it... Who knows... It was just time for ME to get er done.

@Big_John This is what he did: Here's the timing and gap information that he used used below. He found it on an imperial club website... He put the spark plug wires in order (obviously the site I got my firing order from was wrong ), he adjusted dwell to 29. Adjusted idle set screw after he...

I'll have him text me exactly what was wrong and update my post later today...

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!! A REAL mechanic fixed it while I was transporting loads to and from the military base today.... He said it was out of time along with some other stuff about the distributor, etc. That thing is purring like a kitten Thanks for all the help....

No offense taken... I know nothing about cars with points in them... I appreciate the help

It ran before the "mechanic" F'd it up knowing he really didn't know anything about points cars (an assumption on my part). Now he's dodging me

I have a 65 Imperial with a 413 that cranks but wont start :( I've checked / changed the ballast resistor, carberator, coil, points & rotor. The only thing I haven't changed is the plugs and wires. And it still won't start. Yes, it's getting fuel. I even tried the +battery to the +coil trick...

@Big_John ... I a 65 Imperial with a 413 with the same problem I tried jumping it from the battery to the coil and noting happened... Where do I go from there
