I'm thinking it's not grounded, but maybe someone else has had same problem.

My starter was fried (Had to push start everywhere)

Got the starter, went ahead and replaced the four year old battery, and still won't crank over.

Has a fast paced clicking sound from starter, it just will not turn over.


Any ideas?
I'm running new grounds tomorrow, but any input will help!

this is in a 92 civic CX with ZC swap, manual.

 

is your 1972 nova auto or manual?

 

manual.

The starter is getting power to it, so it's not the clutch safety switch, or neutral safety switch, whatever you wanna call it.

 

If you haven't, take a look at the fuses, see if your starter signal or another is blown.

 

besides grounding, there could be other problems in the wiring.

1 problem i've ran into personally is corrosion on the wire going to the fusebox. poured some coca cola on it, and it was all better.

Go through this, and if you have any issues after this... let us know.

 

Alright!
Got it solved.
I cleaned up all grounds, and went to local auto store, bought a meter of 4 gauge grounding wire, ran it from negative terminal (With new terminal connectors), and ran it to engine.

Runs like a ******* charm and turned over first time after that.
Thanks for all help!
