Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1979 Excalibur Phaeton, jumper cables, milwaukee wisconsin


Question
Hi Vern,
I was about to pull the Excalibur out of the garage and let it run a bit since the last time it ran was January or February.  The engine isn't starting at all (no clicks or any noises when I turn the key).  The headlights aren't working, but the interior lights and radio are.  I think I may have to jump the car, but I can't figure out where to attach the jumper cables to.  It appears as if the battery is buried in the passenger side hood, but I can't figure out if there are some sort of extensions to attach the jumper to near the top of the hood.  Thanks for the help!

Answer
The battery should be at the top of the passenger side under the hood.
If it's in a un-reachable position, check with Alice Preston at Excalibur.
I am not familiar with where it may have been moved.
