I hooked up a battery charger that is for starting, The portable kind on wheels. I set it on 6 volt starting and it turned over a tick stronger like it is suppose to for a coupe turns and then it died down and quit again.

Have you tried jumping it with another 6 volt car? I would pull the battery and take it to a store that sells batteries and have it "load tested". It usually doesn't cost anything if they think they might be able to sell you a battery. Charlie Stephens

I have an all original 1940 ford coupe with the flat head V8. I am trying to start it but when I do it will turn over about 4 turns and slowly quit until it stop and buzzes. I have but a battery charger on it and set it to 6 volt crank but it continues to do the same thing. I really need some help because the owner of the car just passed away and I am the only one left to keep his cars going. I am thinking that the battery may be shot and its not letting it charge therefore not letting it crank. Please give me suggestions. Thanks
