    73 Charger cranking but not starting

    ok folks, thanks for all the great replies...did some more testing over the weekend. I finally got 12v to the coil (not sure why the jumper didn't work) by placing the BL wire on the 4 post ballast resistor directly opposite the BR wire on the 1.5 ohm side. (I know, it had a jumper already in...

    so the "I" terminal really only energizes the "switch" to allow the Batt term and the "S" terminal to make contact to crank the engine...it is the brown (ign 2) and blue (ign 1) that fires the "spark", correct? I will do some more testing and tracking tonight...thanks guys...

    73 Charger cranking but not starting

    yep, I have the plug wires marked so I don't do that (has happened to me as well over the years...LOL) I actually checked the timing, it so happened to be lined up on the balancer and peeked inside the #1 and the piston was on top, rotor pointed to #1 as well. I will double-check the wires on...

    73 Charger cranking but not starting

    YES, very strange. It ran perfectly over the summer and fall. I have spark all down the line, not a thick/blue but it does snap. A funny thing I found last night is that as I cranked and added fuel (some by bottle, some with accel pump) that I thought I had flooded it. So, I took the plugs out...

    ok, with all the crap has been going on, becoming a grampa has brighten my spirits greatly!! Now back to the car...the battery and starter removed and test good, the fuel has been replaced. I have tried the jumper and I connected the new switch, as suggested, with no luck. After replacing all...

    73 Charger cranking but not starting

    hmmm, the battery "tests" good, but no, have not swapped it. My timeline may be a bit off, I don't think it has started since dropping the tank...and yes, I just hooked the switch "inline" and got all the same readings. (but did not try starting with it hooked up. I haven't returned it yet, may...

    found some time over the weekend (found out mom has cancer, life-long friend died in car accident...both last Thursday) so this helps keep my from dwelling on the bad crap! Bought a new ign switch, coil , and volt reg...they all test the same as the my old stuff. Right now, draining the fuel...

    ...pickup gap is .008 and the pickup res was at 269 ohms...measured from the pigtail, I just don't know how to interpret that (good/bad). I will have to get some clips to make a jumper wire tonight. I will report back with the results. Thanks for the suggestions.

    I will try the jumper wire tonight...my first thought was the "old" switch since it has been intermittent...

    73 Charger cranking but not starting

    will check the gap and pickup res tonight...I know the gap should be .008, what is a good range on the pickup resistance?
