I have a 1978 ford f150 that i just put a 460 in. The problem is when i go to start the truck i turn the key all the way over and the starter kicks in then when i let go the starter stays running and wont shut off unless u turn the key complety off. Please give me some suggestions on what it might be.

I suggest that you click on the "!!" button under your name and location in the first post and ask for the thread moved to Ford Tech. You will get a lot more help there. :thumb:

You could also have a ring gear that is so chewed up it is holding onto the gear. What does it look like? Take some pics.

Tried disconnecting the truck from the starter and just hitting it with some jumper cables straight from the battery?
