@67dart273 - see my comment above. The instrument fuse does not have juice going into it - even when light switch is in any position. Headlights work fine. When you say: So the power goes through the light switch, and then OUT to the instrument fuse. So if I pull the dash and have power...

FYI, done with no luck. The switch was working fine previously unless it just decided to die on me.

So I am assuming the fuse that the big arrow is pointing to (see pic) has to do with the instrument lighting because the wires going out are orange which I believe is instrument lighting color, right? The problem is, it does not have any juice going into the fuse so obviously there is no...

1973 dart sport dash lights are not working. I'll start with the fuse and work my way up. What fuse in the block is supposed to be for the instrument panel? The far passenger side fuse in the block has no juice on either end...

Alright, I was able to get the fuse block down and tie into it for the main ignition power source. There was a harness that was kind of hidden, holding the fuse box up from coming down. So now my only need is to tie into the lights for the gauges. What is best in this case - I assume pull the...

If I came off the fuse block, would I need to get that down and tie into the top side of it?

73 dart sport - was thinking the accessory on fuse panel but tried to get fuse panel block down and can't due to limited movement of these old wires. I have two open spots on fuse panel. Is there an output wire to tie into.

I am working on the car today trying to hook up a tach and oil pressure gauges. I am having on hell of a time finding an ignition on wire that is that is easily accessible to splice into for the power source for the gauges. Recommendations as to what is the best wire to use. Any help is...

I had it connected as it was shown in the MSD digram - that is what made me think that it was not an issue. Turns out, it likes it the opposite way.

You were right! Flipped the magnetic pickup wires and fired right up even though everything I found showed it was supposed to be hooked up right in the first place. You never know until you try. Thank you everyone for your help! The car is now running stronger than ever after sitting for over...

Problem solved. Magnetic pickup wires on distributor to MSD harness where flipped. Running fine now: 1973 dodge dart sport 340 start up - YouTube

Since the car was running before I made this update and the only change is MSD box (tests fine and is wired correctly), coil (tests out fine), and wires - the only thing I can think of is wires. I will check the resistance of all the wires and ensure the firing order is correct. Can someone...

It ran much better before. First think I thought was reversed pickup leads but see msd diagram above and my pic - it is correct.

I will double check the plug wires later today. This may be a stupid question but how do I determine which wire should be number 1 on the distributor cap to ensure that is correct? Set number 1 cylinder to TDC and the rotor should be pointing at 1? From there, the firing order is 18436572 in a...

73 dart sport 340. I recently upgraded the ignition by installing an MSD 6al box, MSD blaster coil, and MSD super conductor wires. I ran into issues preventing the car to run in this thread: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=263325. The problems was needing to bypass the...

The car is running but does not start easy and just backfires through the carb. Here is a video: Tuning issues - YouTube

The car started but was hard to start and didn't run good. I think this is the issue. See attached image. Currently, the male connector from the old harness is hooked up to the MSD green, not violet. I'll try this out tomorrow and see how it works. Thanks. UPDATE: Actually, based on the...

So i bypassed the resistor and the car started and ran OK but it is very difficult to start - doesn't just fire right up. I have a mopar performance distributor which has a grey and orange wire for the magnetic pickup. MSD instructions say there should be a black and orange wire and black goes...

This is how it is hooked up and is not running. I am going to take the advice from others above and try to bypass the ballast and see if that works. If this does not work, the only thing left is the magnetic pickup in the distributor. I am running a mopar performance electronic distributor -...

What do I need to connect to eliminate the ballast resistor. There is currently two wires on the right connection and two wires on he left connection that have a jumper wire. Ideally, once running good, I will unwrap the factory harness and completely eliminate the extra wiring from the old...

I installed an MSD 6al box (73 dart sport 340) but I have having issues getting the car to run - it will turn and turn and turn with no start. It started up briefly for a second after many attempts but did not run long. In the instructions, it says use the old coil + to the msd red wire...
