I replaced the ignition module and resistor, which both looked brand new. The car idled for 20 min with no issues. I was able to adjust the idle down and putting the car in gear only dropped the idle slightly and it never stalled. Hopefully i can try it on the road today, but so far it seems good.

Coil is brand new. Voltage to the ignition box is almost 14 when running, same with one side of ballast resistor. Resistor reads about 1.5 cold, 2.5 when warmed up to point of shutting off. Swapping box and resistor today

Finally, I got something to change. When the car is warmed up and wants to die, I touched 12 volts from the battery to the coil + and it immediately idled back up. I removed the wire and after about 10 seconds it tried to die again. I touched 12 volts and it idled back up. Ignition box confirmed?

I have yet to see the choke flap closed, hot or cold

Started checking wires, voltage and grounds. There is only a wire going to the block from the battery. No chassis or body. There is 4 volts going to the coil from the ballast resistor. They have also grabbed the choke power at the coil so it's only getting 4 volts

The distributor is connected to the front of the carb and the brake booster is connected to the manifold. That's all the vacuum lines that are connected to the engine

Started it up this morning. Idled perfectly fine for about 20 min. Then stumbled a couple of times and died. Fired right back up, idled smooth for about 10 seconds then died. Fired it up about 5 more times, did the exact same thing everytime. Ran for about ten seconds smooth, stumbled then died

This is what I'm working with. Customer purchased car from CA, sent it to a shop to have a full inspection and all issues fixed. Got the car back barely driveable after spending over $10k. He sent it to us after talking with one of our clients. We build mostly LS based restomods. So far, we've...

17 and 32 assuming the mark is correct

67 Charger with 383, automatic. I'm stumped with this one. The car seems to idle ok and drive when first started up, but after a few miles it wants to stall when you stop. It also will cut out while idling after warmup. One thing I noticed is cruising about 40-50, it feels like it's skipping...
