starting problems
What could be my problem when i turn the key and nothing and another time I'll start to crank.Any ignition switch concerns. How about this lockout thing is it there on a 70 454 auto?thanks for the ideas.

There is a safety switch on both manual and auto trans '70 Corvettes. I have a manual, and I can't turn over the starter unless the clutch is depressed. On mine, I belive it is called a "neutral safety switch", but that might be the name for the auto version.

Do a forum search.
Here's the same problem from yesterdays link: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-t...g-problem.htmlMy answer is the same - flip the disk inside the solenoid cover.
Good luck,

Assuming you have checked all battery cables,
either your iginition switch on top of the column needs adjusting,
or your netuel safety switch is not working correctly,
or Cardo is righto
flip the copper disk in the starter solenoid, or replace, it.
