The only thing changed was the solenoid, so that is the most likely reason for a sudden change in the status quo. Highly unlikely that a major short randomly developed on its own. Reason for changing was?? Please post a picture of the starter and solenoid as there were two types used on the 54 cars.
It was kind of the only thing I could think of at the time, because the car had been starting so erratically, and it's always been super reliable.
I had the solenoid in the trunk, and a new Voltage regulator, and lots of parts for everything electrical, and the starter solenoid was by far the simplest, most obvious thing. If I start posting pics right now I am afraid they will just become more confusing. I think that at times, a dead short and a complete open at the same time could be the most frustrating thing I've ever had to track down. But God willin' I might have it going yet tonight...
