    1978 ford van starting system
    My son has a 1978 Ford mini home with a 351 engine. All of a sudden it won't start. Took starter & battery to have checked and they are both OK. Replaced starter solenoid and ohmed out cable to starter. Should also say lights don't work now either.. What do I do next?

    Maybe you need to replace your starter or check the flywheel.. because we also encountered same problem of yours but we just replace a new starter and a flywheel...
