I am not certain it is ignition at all yet. But it is acting the same as it did when it was losing a plug wire. It very well may be something to do with the secondaries in this new AVS.

Had to revive this old thread. Have you ever had any issues out of these wires during hard acceleration? I had one that would pop off the plug. Then I tweeted it a bit and it will stay on, but now one of them will stop firing once I drop the hammer.

I bought a Blaster 2 which comes with its own ballast. When I swap coils I swap the ballast accordingly. I also switched from an orange box (made in China) to a chrome box (made in 'murica). Neither swap made a difference. Never thought about the gas cap. It is the stock cap. 50 years old of...

In an attempt to do the check you described, I couldn't get it to fire up, so I continued my voltage checks. I broke down and popped the switch out. I started checking the posts on the back and everyone was on deck except IGN2 which is the brown wire going to the ballast resistor. At no point...

I finally got the chance to dive in with a multimeter. My first obvious concern is the voltage of the charging system overall. Right off the top the battery is showing about 13.85V. The car will fire up and run, but as it is running the voltage will gradually decrease. Once it got down to around...

ECU is grounded to the block as well as the firewall. The coil did feel hotter than I thought it should after the engine shut off with the new coil. I gotta check the voltage in the "run" position for sure. New coil, ballast, switch. Planning on checking that reluctor gap again. I am pretty...

Well, it wasn't the coil or the ECU. I have replaced both of those and the ballast. It runs solid and then after something gets up to temperature it shuts off as if I turned the key off. Try to start it back and it goes back to only firing when the switch goes back to the "off" position. I am...

Spoke too soon. After idling for five minutes it shut off like it suddenly lost fire and immediately went back to the same symptoms. I have a new coil on the way to eliminate that possibility.

Problem seems to be solved by moving that wire. It fired right up and rumbled around better than it has ever ran. Thanks for all y'all's input!

Alright.......a local Mopar buddy brought a box full of things to try tonight. Just for an extra set of eyes and another brain to fry over this. We went through the wiring and he verified that I was right in how it is wired. We switch ECUs to one he had. No change. We switched to a 6AL just for...

Not yet. I am thinking that is the next thing to do. I might have to swallow my pride and round up some of the brand X guys around here to help shove this beast up the driveway until a new one arrives. I am looking up different wiring diagrams in the meantime. I'm telling y'all, what I have...

I did all of this today. No change so far. I am almost positive it is something going on witht the "run" wire. I even hotwired it to try and see if I could force it to fire and got nothing. As I was cranking it, I quickly unhooked the Hotwire and hooked it back up and it tried to start. But...

Well, I made it back from my trip across the pond again. I dug the Charger out of storage and began tinkering with it. Immediately it began giving me ignition headaches again. As mentioned above, I worked through the gremlins in the earlier part of this thread. I now have a new issue. My...

Problem solved. I don't really wanna talk about it. Moving on to carburetion now. NOT getting a Holley either.

Lol! Yeah. Either that or an oversized bushing. One or the other. I can feel a little movement in there. Maybe a little of both. They have little work ethic after that 23-1/2 hour shift. I did dig down into the lower housing looking for a finger or nail or anything indicating such an incident...

Well, here is an update with a positive twist for a change. My new distributor hasn't shown up yet, but I was bored today and yanked the MP distributor to get a closer eye on that air gap. I switched the reluctor for the hell of it, then rotated the shaft to examine the variation in the vanes...

I just got a cheap, reman unit coming. Just something to pop in and fire it up to eliminate the noise for the time being. I am 98% certain it's the distributor. I just wanna confirm that last 2%. If that is the final answer, I will get one of the stock style ones from Mancini. They say they will...

Oh??? Is there a bastard distributor getting passed around on here??? My screwing I got was a set of $60 "b-body radiator side plates" that turned out to be two of the same oddball garbage that no one needed! Lesson learned! That was from a "senior member" that apparently had sold lots of stuff...

Lol! I think sleepar and I are gonna be good friends! I got screwed on here just like that! I am not that guy! But I know exactly what you're getting at! My new distributor is on the way.

So, as expected A) Summit, who is really nothing more than a broker on this deal, had to direct me to Mopar. They can't support any kind of warranty since I bought the kit and stuck it on a shelf for six months. Expected that. B) Mopar says, "That is an issue we have no record of. Disassemble...
