Hello who are interested. A couple months ago I contacted @HALIFAXHOPS for a new Coil, Ballast, Rotor, condenser, and points. Started with just the ballast and coil and the issues have seemed to STOP. Apart from the coils getting crazy hot, the car would sputter and cough upon acceleration...

I did. Maybe I did it wrong, though...? Whats the best way to test these? 12v to inlet of ballast, and read what output voltage I'm getting?

So far, I’ve changed coil, ballast, voltage regulator, ignition switch, and engine harness.

Yea I'm just going to have to chase that wire down, definitely cheaper! No other accessories, the radio isn't even in.

Yea I'm thinking I just have to buy a new dash harness. Those things aren't cheap!

In case anyone read my post, I installed my new harness today and found it did have a 12v source for the choke as I had asked for. I mistook the connection for something else, and until it was on the car realized it was what I wanted. Another vote for Evans!

I thought I’d eliminate this possibility with a new engine harness

Yes new condenser

I did.

So I was hoping the issue would be in the engine harness, and I ordered one from Evan’s Wiring. I put it on today, and I’m STILL GETTING 14v TO THE COIL!!! Man I convinced myself this was going to fix and was so disappointed to see nothing had changed! Pic of reading taken while car is running.

I was in the process of ordering a harness when I came across your post. I thought it was a great idea to add a power wire for an electric choke. I emailed him, and asked how much the added choke wire would cost, and he said the entire harness would be $100. I said great and ordered it. Got the...

Got new points, and was puzzled again. With the internally regulated coil, it wouldn’t start. And with the standard coil, it ran horribly!

Thought I’d check the points, and they were toast!

I havent done anything to the car! All it did was sit between those old readings, and the new ones I took today!

Coil + now

So I tried to drive the car today, thinking I had fixed the issue. Today it wouldn’t even start! Just crank and crank and nothing. I checked voltage with the key in the “on” or “run” position (the position it reverts to after cranking and upon starting) and now these readings are different! I...

I think that’s original. Here’s a 1965 Coronet with a reproduction of an original harness. Two wires in both ballast terminals
