  1. I have a 1963 R-1 Avanti that has been sitting for several years.  I'm not the most skilled mechanic, but I have prepped it to bring it back to life (changed the oil, put some marvel mystery oil into the cylinders, changed out the spark plugs, etc.), but when I put the key in to start the car up I got nothing.  It doesn't even attempt to turn over. I swapped out the battery for a brand new one and made sure it was charged.  I have dash lights and blinkers and exterior lights so the car is getting power.  However, when I turn the key there is no sound - no clicking and no attempt to turn over just silence.  

     

    So what I need is some advice on trouble shooting this problem.  Maybe a list of some  possible causes from most likely to less likely.  Or some direction on where to look.  Anything to get this project moving forward.

    Thanks in advance

  2. I have a 1963 R1 Avanti.  Can anyone ID this part for me.  I can’t seem to figure out what it is from the parts catalog.   I need to replace the green wire (mice chewed though it).  The wire goes to the ignition coil on the other end.  And as you can see the wire isn’t attached with a nut but pushes on with with the L shaped ending which is attached to the end of the wire.  Is that kind of attachment standard?  I’ve never seen anything like it before.
