3. So don't touch any wires on the Voltage Regulator? I am confused on both because the MSD directions say that I am to connect the original wire that went to the Pos side of the Original MOPAR Coil to the thin Red MSD. According to the wiring diagram that would be the Brown, not Blue. RON...

Can you please explain how to eliminate? I have ran mine for 2 years with the Ballast. I want to eliminate the ballast, but not getting the wiring right. My ballast has 2 brown wires on the right (brown with white line) and on the other side is 2 blue and 1 black wire.

Hi, can you please clarify which wires you are saying need to splice to the thin Red MSD box ? Is it the Ignition 1 and Ignition 2 wires? I ask because I am trying to eliminate the Ballast Resistor on my 1971 Dart. I had two brown wires on the right side of the Ballast and I have 2 blue wires...

THANK YOU for this MSD specific diagram. I mistakenly took ALL the wires from the left side of the Ballast and combined them with the thin red wire from the MSD box. Looking at your picture, I was only supposed to mate the BLUE wire off the Voltage regulator below the Ballast to the thin red...

I did that and may have had one in wrong location. But, after doing that it won't start at all and just shoots fire out the carb. I went and bought a new MSD Blaster 2 Coil, thinking maybe that is the issue. But, I swapped the new one and still won't start and still shooting fire. I took the...

Success! I changed out the Ignition Switch and She is starting! However, now I have a new issue. The engine was popping and backfiring badly! It turned out to be that I had the plug wires mixed up, when I put them back together. Now that they are re-arranged correctly again, it won't start and...

Thank you. I have that, and the body manual. But, the electrical diagrams are not as intuitive to me. I tells me where wires are, but I don't know what should and should not have power, when and what it mean if it doesn't or does have power. The picture in the Service Manual did show a Ground...

I wanted to elaborate on my initial post by adding pics. I am not 100% sure if I have a mistakenly disconnected Black wire with yellow stripe at coil or MSD. I only have 2 wires in total on the coil (1 on Pos and 1 on Neg). I also only have power at my Starter relay on one terminal (the bolt)...

Thank you for clarifying this. Last night I spend time under the dash. I am a little over 6ft tall, so I literally was upside down with my leg over the headrest. I am starting to think that the brand new ignition switch, that I purchased on Ebay, may be defective! I traced my (non factory)...

Thank you for this information. I will make that change. I saw videos of people using a GM boomerang looking ignition gizmo too, but I think that is only necessary if you have an old distributor. Can you tell me what happens by not eliminating the ballast, in my situation? I ask because, like I...

Good afternoon, I have been struggling to resolve and issue since doing a bunch of maintenance to my car. I have read a few posts and will try my best to avoid the pitfalls in my question :) Facts: Before Recent Maintenance 1. My car was running and starting fine, before the maintenance work...

Mikey, I am in Indpls. Did you get to 1 yet? If not can you send the images PM of the interior detail, all 4 sides exterior, engine and bottom side? If you are close to Indy I can come see for myself.

I am fairly new. Please help me understand what you said about a 440 being 175HP vs a 383 having 330HP. By Smogger do you mean gas guzzler?
