Sounds like a fuel issue to me .

The previous owner of my 1961 Newport had relocated the battery to the boot/trunk. I am putting it back in the engine bay but have noticed they have the battery positive cable straight to the BAT terminal on the starter relay . The FSM shows the battery positive cable going straight to the...

Correct , make sure you scratch a bit of paint of the panel where the mounting brackets bolt to .

This has answered my question , was unsure how the relay worked , thanks for that .

I notice that cbarge says to use 12 gauge wire for a 38 amp alternator and 10 gauge for a 78 amp . Which would be...

I'm guessing the underhood bypass would still be a good thing for my 1961 Newport which doesn't have a bulkhead connector ?
