Re: reviving a 53 imperial
If this Imperial is original , it will have a generator instead of an alternator . When you installed the new battery , did it do anything ? Unusual noises or smells ? Did the engine turn over at all ? You could have a bad starter , bad wiring ( almost guaranteed ) , a bad ignition switch , bad battery cables , or a host of other possibilities . You say the engine isn't locked up ? Did you turn it over by hand or...? Give us more specific details .
