And stayed running! :steering::steering:

Update: Since hooking up this ECU from our own halifaxhops the Dart has fired up every time!!

Full frontal shot ;) prior to swapping the ECU

ECU is new from our own halifaxhops and well grounded

Pick up measures at 394 ohms and steady Car fired right up this morning and had no issues

Are you talking about the pickup wire from distributor? Or plug wires? Spark plugs and wires are new and have been fine for the past 3 months. New fuel tank, float etc about a year ago. I’ll check wires this week Thanks

When I pull the vacuum advance engine dies

A little more background if anybody can help. The car‘s been running fine like a champ for the last 10 months getting 14 miles per gallon, no leaks, plenty of get up and go for a 76 ;) so this latest issue with it dying while driving along at 55 is fairly new just in the last couple weeks and...

No headers. It is getting fuel Thanks

ECU failing hot is a real possibility as the days I've had this issue (engine shuts off while cruising along) temps here in the Charlotte area were high 90's?

Sorry I don't have a technical explanation. After reading the Chrysler article you posted above, it seems the 5th pin does protect the ECU by limiting current flow. Is it possible I'm damaging the ECU by not utilizing the 5 ohm resistor on the Ballast? Again, I'm just assuming I need the 5 pin...

Thanks again for the info. So if I'm reading correctly, wouldn't I need a 5 pin ECU? I have a 4 post Ballast resistor and my ECU harness has 5 wires

Thanks everyone for the input Educate me on 4 pin versus 5 pin ECU’s Mine is running a 4 pin with a Malaysian made chip But the spec sheet calls for a 5 pin Thanks in advance

No stumble, just dies Yes, MOPAR ECU

Nearly every day for a week I start my ‘76 Dart w/318 2BBL and drive about 6 miles. While cruising along at 55 mph it will die. I slap it in neutral fire it back up and continue on my way without any issues the rest of the day. Yesterday it wouldn’t restart, pulled off the road, I could get it...
