George,

The pervious owner had done a bit of work to the engine, but I wouldn't call it highly modified. I was told that the engine is from a '71 (mine is a '73), was align bored... (I can't remember much more and don't have access to my notes this weekend), has a mallory ignition, weiand intake...

When I turn the key to the start position, it sounds like the starter tried to crank the engine but it won't turn over. The engine does not crank. Watching the voltage at the battery, the volts drop rapidly as if there is a large draw of current (13.6 -> 9.7v).
