You’re right, we all have to start somewhere and we all knew nothing before we knew anything.

I’ve been a fan of gm HEI for a while. They’re simple and create a nice spark. They just get hot and need to have a heatsink screwed on or bolted to something cold. I originally thought your problem was the mopar ecu. Whatever you do, scrap the ballast in the circuit to the coil. It’ll help with spark energy.

Cheers, yes I see they mount to an alloy plate and use PC paste.. fixed many an Xbox, so used to that stuff...

I am learning slowly, but the learning curve is steep.... I mistook a full rebuild as trouble free driving lol!! only Mopars owned previously was my 06 Charger police cruiser from Dickson City PA. and 94 Viper so very different from a 73 Duster.. both never gave any grief, well other than the Viper's power steering pulley bracket snapping while out having a meal lol!!..
I did indeed replace the ECU just in case, good to have spares, got a spare ballast, voltage reg, light switch, belt and filters.... need to replace door rubbers but so flipping expensive for what they are!!
