I have a 55 Chrysler 1970 model 557ha that turns over fine has good compression new coils and new key switch but will not start. There is a breaker switch on the side that trips as soon as the ignition turns over. I disconnected the stator wires to the rectifier but it still isn't working. The motor has been sitting up outside for several years. Are there any other thing I can check also replaced the flywheel key the old one was broken. Points have been cleaned and look new and the plugs look fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You need to clean all your contacts from the battery back. also check the wiring on the ignition switch. if it keeps popping the breaker you have a short somewhere. its got to be in the wiring.
