Got home from work, cleaned up the wiring with some split tube looms and fired up the RR, sounded great! Took it for a spin to get gas no then on to some low traffic side streets I put the pedal down and she barked the tires with a vengeance. Everything seems back on track, and man o man did I...

A little follow up post since it appears that the car is running again.. After having 3 MSD units fail after only a few minutes run time, I decided to go back to the stock electronic ignition. I ordered 2 orange boxes, 2 ballast resistors, stock ignition coil to go along with the new voltage...

I will have to crawl under the car and inspect the cable when I get home today. The relocation was done before I bought the car and it looks like it was done the right way. The car ran perfect for almost 4 years before current issues. I will say I could have gone about the initial trouble...

Still waiting on a shipment from Jegs to receive a stock ignition setup. I know the with the "big" wire disconnected from the alternator, it would not have sent high voltage to the MSD and kill it. I have already untaped the wire harness from the bulkhead to the to the alternator and everything...

Main problem with that is I can't get the car to run long enough to test possible culprits before the ignition quits again. Waiting on a stock ignition from Jets to see how that performs.

Still trying to get my 68' RR on the road and figured out. I received my 3rd MSD 6A (2nd replacement unit) last week. Upon the advice of a mechanic friend I disconnected the the alternator output wire on in addition to replacing a suspected bad voltage regulator Fired the car and it started...

A little background on the car. I have owned it for 4 years now. Never had an issue with the car for the first 3-1/2 years. Died in the road late last year, no spark and no voltage to the coil so I thought that was the issue. Didn't work, and I did not find out until later that voltage is not...

Thanks for all of the replies everyone, probably going to purchase a Power probe as suggested to aid in finding the bad wire/s. I am convinced that it is in the wiring as well. Is it safe to say the bad wire should be located in the engine bay?, or is there a possibility that I will have to dig...

https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/68-rr-still-wont-start.144552/ Been having issues for some time now and became frustrated enough to give up and let the car sit for several months after many failed attempts at getting it running. Above thread is a continuation of a previous...

Ok, just finished a few more tests on the reluctor coil pick up. I am getting 0 ohms and no continuity during cranking. So as far as I can tell the coil pickup is bad which means no signal tot the MSD to work properly. Hopefully my local store may have one in stock or I will get one ordered...

Just installed a new cap and rotor ( wires are basically brand new ) and still no spark. Here is the like new old cap, notice the 8, 4 and coil ports are all discolored instead of shiny brass like the others? All wires were inserted fully and snug, what would have caused this? Is there an easy...

If this was bad, it wouldn't try to turn over at all would it?

New MSD Blaster 2, provided spark using the MSD troubleshooting guide.

Ok, borrowed a socket and set the reluctor to .10 ( smallest gap my feeler gauge has) tried at again and still no spark at the plugs.

Ok, just got home and first thing I did was check for spark at the plugs.........nothing with a brand new plug to the engine block ground. So I went to the distributor and tried a new rotor, still nothing. I was told in a previous post to check the reluctor and pickup gap at the distributor...

I haven't had any time until this week to work on getting the car started since the issue I had with it dying on the road a fe w onths back. Things I have done so far to try and fix it are, Bulkhead connections checked, cleaned no visible signs of overheated terminals or melting wires. A few...

I tried this when I got home today and still won't start. Thank you, I will try this trouble shooting method out tomorrow and see what happens from there.

My best guess is the box died, since it happened While the car was running........unless a poor connection at the bulkhead finally failed? I will have to look up some schematics and and trace out the wiring and verify everything is intact.

Not necessarily, the second MSD I swapped came from another RR I bought last year that has sat non op since 2004, so no idea if that unit is good either. I just went through all the wiring and I cannot find anything obvious that is wrong or has a poor connection.

Yes the MSD is grounded to the same bolt on the block as the battery.
