Re: 1959 gmc ignition, starting problem
What ignition switch are you using? I have run into some that don't have power to the coil when turned to "start" relying on the bypass wire from the solenoid to carry the power to the coil when cranking and then when you let the key go back to IGN the power goes through the ballast resistor to the coil in normal manner.
If you have power to the coil with the key in the on position and none when cranking that is the issue.
You did confuse me a bit with the foot pedal start thing though. Are you still using the foot start button/pedal and a different ign switch? Or?????????????
