Ok....I had a local garage upgrade from points to electronic in the distributor cap. Replaced coil with Blaster 3, still using ballast resistor. See photo. Car stopped running, won’t fire up, a few months ago and I’m just getting around to working on it again myself. I’m an idiot when it comes to this stuff since I have no idea what I’m doing. Do I need the ballast resistor with electronic ignition? Is there a component missing in the photo that could cause this?
I just bought new wires, distributor cap, coil, ballast resistor, and plugs. Gonna redo this all in the hopes one of those items failed. But perhaps they failed because it’s wrong to begin with, not that the part failed. Can any of you gurus dumb this down for me and tell me what’s missing or what I should do differently? Motor is a ‘66 273 in a 65 Dodge Dart.
