Thanks. I will try that. The part that throws me is that it will fire and run great in the run position. Much more responsive dizzy, better looking too. I was thinking that the cranking is just drawing too much power from my cheap old remaned battery to crank and fire at the same time. How many...

Well, it runs great in run. Maybe the box needs the full 12V to fire it in start.

I'm just going the have to chase each wire and verify if they are going where they are supposed to and providing the power and or connection they are supposed to. The electronic ignition was in when I bought it so I'm not sure what all they did, but it does work as wired. There's a couple of...

I did not check the gap. I will find out what it's supposed to be set at tomorrow. It does fire and run when you release the key from start to the run position. When it starts it runs great. Very snappy response compared to the original distributor. The fact that it will fire and run great...

I'm using a 4 pin and a single ballast.

No. A bit more than 10V in start and 7-8 in run. From my research of an orange box ignition that's normal. The Chrysler distributor starts and runs fine with those voltages.

69 Roadrunner 440 4 speed. Yes using a ballast. Same wiring as the original. I had to replace the connector on the new dist as they use an MSD style. Tried wiring the two dist wires both ways and I could only get it to fire in one configuration.

Multiple tries only when it's hot. The only change is the distributor. Timing is good, when it starts it runs great, firing order right on. Pulled a plug wire and stuck in a plug. Laid it in the manifold and checked for spark in start. The 440 source dist, nothing till it springs back to run. I...

I installed a 440 source billet distributor, PN 117-1000. The difference is no vacuum advance on the 440 Source unit. I have it wired in using the Chrysler orange box ECU and it will occasionally fire off when I release the key to the Run position, but not in Start. WTH?? Now when it does fire...

I had issues with starting, especially when my engine was hot and sat for a while. I patched in everything, and no luck till I patched in a coil. Seems to be fine now.

I can tell you that on my 69 Roadrunner it is the same as you would read at the battery while cranking, about 10.9V. The start position on the key switch bypasses the ballast to give your coil the full battery voltage for starting.

Contact A&A Transmissions at aanaatrans.com or call 317 831-3066. Good People. They helped me with my 64 Polara.

I agree. Not everyone is an experienced Mopar tech. Some are just learning or have never seen this problem.

I had one do that in my C-10. The 12V supply to the coil was shorted to the firewall, causing it to crack and spill oil everywhere. Recheck all your wiring.
