ADMIN wif a corner office (Deceased - RIP)
Ok. My Duster ("IT") has been idle for many months, partly because I decided to rip all the hacked up wiring out of it and replace it with new.
Today, after (probably) 7 months slumber it crackled to life, but not without an issue. (first, a short rant)
The car was an original column auto. And when the B&M shifter was installed in the floor, the builder (and I use that term really loosely) left the auto column in place. So first on the agenda today was to install a floor shift column I had previously purchased. Well guess what. This '73 column is TO SHORT to work in my '72. Don't know why that is, but it definitely is.
So I remove the "new" column and start reinstalling the old one. I get everything buttoned up and try to fire that muther up.
(I know you've been patiently waiting, so here's the problem)
The problem is it won't fire the motor until I start to release the key. I'm using an MSD 6a with a Mopar electronic distributor triggering the MSD. Main power for the MSD is connected to the battery. Switched power is coming off a switched lug in my fuse box. Is it simply the ignition switch (which previously didn't have this problem)?
At this point I'm much to tired for independent thought. So let's hear your thoughts on the matter.
