Go to your starter solenoid on the drivers side near the shock tower and pull of the little wire on top the find a flat head screwdriver to jump that and the nut closet to the steering wheel together and see if it cranks. If it does then that means that your issues could be that the power is not getting sent to the solenoid from the ignition trace then your clutch switch or neutral safety switch.

Not saying anyone here is dumb, but make sure you have the car in nuetral if you try jump the selenoid. After your quadrant install you may not have gotten the clutch safety switch quite right. Recheck this. I hope you have upgraded your alt.

I would only eliminate/bypass the switch long enough to determine if it is the problem. They are a cheap part to purchase. Not saying your dumb, but the risk doesn't outway the cost. I know you are probably like me and automatically depress the clutch pedal everytime you go to start the car. I just wouldn't do it. Good luck gettin her back on the road.:smoke:

You'll find plenty of help here. Great bunch of men on here. Go to your profile when you get time and fill out your signature so that we can see if your car is all stock or the modifcations that you have. This will save time, cause the info will be right there for people to see without having to ask. It matters on alot of issues you may encounter.
