Re: [Amc-list] Overheating - not starting

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Have you replaced the battery cables? Is the engine to body ground there 
and in good condition? The voltage regulator doesn't have anything to do 
with starting the car.

> My 68 AMX starts from cold great.  Runs like a champ - man I love this car! But when I stop, turn off the engine it won't restart.  Slow or no turn over like a bad battery.  Smells a little hot but not too bad.  I've checked the radiator, battery is good and on a slow charger at all times, even added a heat shield blanket for the starter.  The voltage regulator is new and very hot  but I'm thinking it from trying to start the engine.  After it cools down and with the battery cables off for the cool down period I reconnect and it starts like new.
