    Hot Wire Ignition Caught Fire

    Thank you for the diagram! Everything seems to be okay in the harness and wires hooked up to the coil terminals. The only one that is toast is a small gauge pink wire (or was pink) before it toasted black.

    I'll go and mess with it tonight on the voltmeter and see what the coil reads. The problem I initially put positive wire on the coil and no wire on neg post of battery it was no spark, just like when I did connect both.

    For the guys who want to roast, go ahead but I just turned 20 and these cars are fossils to me lol. I know I am not the best with wiring either. If anyone could give genuine help, I''d appreciate it. The semi pink wire running to the coil is fried and that seems to be it. If I'm not mistaken...

    Looks like I hot boxed the thing. Man I wish I had the same luck. All my fuses are still intact which is interesting to me. I thought for sure something would have caused those to blow.

    I'll probably do that next week. I just don't understand how a perfectly wired and running car would crap out like this. Everything is new in the engine bay, right down to the 360 I rebuilt.

    Hot Wire Ignition Caught Fire

    No smoke came from the bulkhead and everything seems to be in order. All the smoke was coming from the coil and out through a hole in the firewall right next to the coil. Saw glowing red through the hole inside the glovebox and had to pour water on it. The only other time I had wires glow like...

    I did both positive and negative terminals. There's nothing wrong with that, right?

    Hot Wire Ignition Caught Fire

    Hi all, I am working on a 1970 Dodge Coronet. I had it at sitting at a shop for a couple years where I had a different torque converter put in with a high stall. Anyways, it was running like a champ at that time. I just recently got it back and have no spark coming from the coil or plugs. I...
