12.5vd using a DMM? if a real dmm and its not frigid out 12.5 is a tad low.
12.6 down to 40F

if it dont crank at 12.5v (clicks solenoid), and charger cant make it higher, it's a gonnner... sorry.
happy for you to get this far, !!!!
Thanks!
Thought was in neutral, but was showing in 4WD light…I shifted it down to 2WD…hope it's correct now. Seems to shift right now.
Yep, the battery tested bad at Autozone.
Got new 2 year battery, and guess what? My beastie cranked only 3 seconds after all this time on the torture rack and there it lit right up, settled into the usual smooth cold start idle at 1800, and came on back down as usual.
Tried clutch and first, was smooth going out. Nice. Gotta make one more adjustment to it to get the free pedal just right (cable seems stretchy, is a Beck Arnley)
Thank you so much for your advice, help, and positive support during this big job!
I haven't got it out on the road yet, because now I'm back to the regularly scheduled repair I needed to do when I parked it…the turn signal switch…has that common bad contact in there, giving the left turn buzz. I think you have a fix somewhere on here maybe?
Happy happy happy! And it got a wash too, looks like a proper automobile once again! If it all sounds nice once up to highway speed, will be a wrap. If it doesn't, will be a wrap.
Ha. Tires probably have 9 month flat spots in the back though. Only 1 small bolt left over, and I think it goes to a splash/heat plate on driver's side in engine compartment…is missing a screw. i think I might have taken it off to get more room removing the manifold. So it will go back there.
As you said, take your time, and things will work out. (just not this much time probably)
