Re: 1952 300 not starting

If a new battery does not work, you may have a timing chain that has jumped one or more teeth on the gears. In this situation everything appears to function normally, but the valve timing is off just enough to prevent the engine from starting. A timing chain will jump after performing correctly the last time the car was running. They usually jump when trying to restart the engine. I hope it is a discharged battery and not a jumped timing chain. Good luck.
