1980 35FC won't start via the ignition, please help
Thanks Jim, Great tips and help - I'll try to give those a try. Can
you give me a quick heads up as to where the neutral safety switch
is at on the tranny?

Expecting to have to be under theere again, when I started it via
hotwire last time, I let it run until the suspension fully aired up.
I then stacked 4x4 wood beams under the frame, and in the day that
followed - as the bags let out - it settled nicely on the wood - so
I do feel very safe under there.

Also, again - is there or is there NOT a chassis fuse panel, and if
so, where can I find it?
