So I feel like a complete idiot. The problem was a bad fuel pump and clogged line. The pump was pumping fuel when the ignition was turning the motor over but not as it was running. Meaning the fuel was running out after the carb was sucked dry and inline filter it seemed. Replaced those issues...

My 74 duster (225 ~ 390cfm Holley) seems to be possibly flooding or that is at least what I get out of it. I'm not really fully sure. The car cranks and idles fine as long as you let it sit there and idle there are no issues. If you go to put it in drive right at first it tends to stall out but...

I fixed the wiring and the car is back to running fine. Thanks for all the help guys.

By looking at the wiring under the dash it seems he spliced off of the wiring going to the ignition switch to install the toggle switch and push button set up. I'm try to track it all down under there and set it back the way it was removing the toggle switch ignition. Like I said before with...

Also would it be wise to go ahead and run some test on the ECU of some sort as well.

I had time today to mess around with the voltmeter today and get some clear runnings on several different key parts mentioned in the topic. I hope it is helpful. I also have the name and part numbers to the coil: MasterPro (on box# 2-5195/on bottom of coil#01301) The battery when not hooked...

Here is a pic of the switch I was talking about. (targa/toggle)

I didn't have much time this evening to really check into things but I looked at it a little bit. It seems that the voltage was reading the same both when the key was turned on and when the car was cranked. If I have more time tomorrow I'll check into the exact voltage (getting to be a busy time...

I meant resistor. Vocab isn't one of my strong points sadly and been one of those days. Anyways, I'll check into the voltage and get back with you guys on that. Thanks for the input and the diagram guys.

Let me just say first off that electrical problems are probably my worst at fixing. With that said my 74 Duster (225) was running great until it started acting up. The car would crank fine and function swell until a few minutes into being crank the coil would overheat. After that point the...

Thanks for the welcomes. @73hcode: right on the Mississippi-Louisiana state line northwest of Franklinton (southeast of McComb by around 30 miles) in Washington Parish Pics

Greetings everyone. I was referred to the site by a friend I recently required a 74 Duster from. I'm new to the whole scene of older cars in this type of category. Of course I have always idolized them and so farth but getting under the hood is addictive I am quickly finding. I've spent a...
