Ed,
In general check all the battery connections, like the battery
hot wire which goes to the stater relay on the firewall.
Check your ground cable from the battery to the chassis,
also check the ground from the engine block to the chassis.
One of these three are likely to be loose, or oily.

Subject: Help my Mark V won't start
Hello Alpine group:
This weekend I started up my 67 Alpine V and drove it
several miles.
I parked it in my driveway, and when I went to start
it a little later in the day, there was absolutely
NOTHING!
I confirmed that the battery is okay by switching it
to another vehicle I own and that vehicle started just
fine.
My Alpine has no cranking, no lights, none of the
electrical works -- NOTHING. Completely dead.
Any ideas???
Solenoid?
Could the main thick battery lead have fried that
easily?
Fuse? Are there just the two?
Thanks for all the suggestions from this great list of
enthusiasts.
