Hi, I have a 70 chevy c10. It has the original inline 6. I'm having starting issues with it. It has a new battery,starter,alternator and terminals. When trying to start it, it just clicks or it will slowly turn over then click. It will only start when you jump it with another vehicle. So what could it possibly be? Any help works, Thank you.
