Remove both large cable connections to the battery, the negative one first (negative ground). Do not re-connect at this time.
Remove and clean the cable connections at the other end of these cables. Re-connect
Remove and clean the engine to chassis ground connection. My '63 connection was located under the car, from the "frame" to the clutch slave cylinder mounting stud. Re-connect.
Clean the ends of the cables that connect to the battery, and also clean the battery posts.
Re-connect the cables to the battery, the positive one first.

Before the above steps, try connecting another battery with jumper cables, directly to the cable clamps at the car's battery.
