Hi folks
I'm new here. First Mopar since 1975 Has been a real learning curve for me.
74 Charger SE 318 that I have upgraded to 1969 440. All went good until I tried to start it.
burned up the original wire harness to the engine (used it on the electric choke) wont do that again.
But with all new electronics ECU, Balast resister, Voltage Regulator, Coil, and Battery not to forget the positive and negative battery cables and the proper engine compartment harness from Evans Wiring. All three grounds are in place, firewall to block, neg cable to core support, and the neg bat to block. all connections are clean and new.
It cranks like a champ, Radio and all accessories seem to work,
No Spark
Everything checks out, voltage at the positive post on the primary at the coil is approx 9 volts.
I get 1.5 volts on the neg side during crank. ECU has a good ground, ballast is a little iffy I'm getting different reading depending on the use of my Power probe or my fluke, not sure why. but that should still allow the car to start depending on variety of opinions. or Not??
Any help is welcome I'm at at total loss.
Thanks in advance
