I have a 74 Charger with a 360ci. FBO elec ignition system with 2 pin ballast.
Background on issue was last weekend. Car ran fine but noticed overcharging higher in rpm. Last weekend pulling out went for a drive around the block and it sounded like it was missing then back firing when you got on it, Also overcharging at higher rpm. ( Volt meter in car would go from 13.5/14V then pop up to 18+V when you increase rpm). I pulled back in checked timing and it was fine but figured to back it down a bit to be safe, Sits at 10* initial idle. Started it up, backed out and drove 10 feet then it just died. I noticed my accesory gauges (tach and oil pres/volt/water temp) all blew their lights and my fuse link blew.
I have been checking the elctrical for the past two days and i'm kinda lost.
