1976-Starting Issue

Im guilty of not taking my Vette out every week due to my job. But this starting issue is crazy.

1. I installed a new Napa battery
2. Installed a new starter
3.Had a Neutral Safety Switch Installed

When to start the car -was turning over and stalled since its been 3 weeks.
Tried again and nothing-Lights work-and everything but nothing when I turn the key.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?

Plus if any of you could tell me the best type of battery charger to buy that would be great I would appreciate it.

mine did the same thing before, i would have to push the shifter forward when in park, to get it to start. it was the NSS, it was out of adjustment, you have to remove the sidecover on the pass. side of console and there is a screw to adjust it, you might try putting it in neutral and see if it will start that way, it did on ours, till i adjusted switch, it works fine now. good luck

I agree. It sounds like a NSS problem.

Yep. Neutral start switch adjustment is required.
