I'm coming down off the high of driving my 56 for the first time.  And there are some things I need to address.  The biggest is that sometimes when starting I'd say 1 out of 4 times, I'll turn the key and everything just goes dark.  It is like I don't have a battery in the car at all.  Then I have to go out, diconnect the battery, hook it back up and she is fine?  Sometimes I jiggle the solenoid too to get it back.

My question is is there some type of circuit braker?  or is this likely just the solenoid being touchy?  I'm nervous to drive too far, buecause what if I stall the car and my trick of disconnect/reconnect jiggle the solenoid doesn't work and I'm on a busy street?
