Yeah I had charged it multiple times, and also let it trickle charge for a few days. It was only a year old so I didnt think there was a chance it was bad. Always a good reminder it is usually something simple.

@Demonracer I had just read a bunch about using the gm module on slant6.org so thats what I went with. @67Dart273 I found someone with a good battery and I swapped it out to test it. Turns out thats what it was. Ive got 10.6 to 11.0 volts when cranking now. At the module aswell. And I checked...

@RustyRatRod Yeah which may have not been the best thing to do, I get it. At the time of rebuilding I had wanted to switch to HEI ignition anyway and I had the stuff for it so I went ahead with it.

@67Dart273 Sorry for such a long gap. I got called out of town for work for the last few weeks. I am back working on my project again. So I measured the voltage at the posts of the battery and as it cranked over the voltage dropped from 12.5 to 9.5 right away, and then over the next few seconds...

@67Dart273 The module is definitely grounded. Notches were made in the aluminum plate for the nubs that stick off the back and it is screwed into "clean" sheet metal. I have also checked the screw points with the multimeter. As for the cranking voltage. Key in "run" voltage at the positive...

Hello everyone. I have been dealing with an ignition demon on my car and I have not been able to get spark. I have tried pretty much everything I can think of so now I am looking for some help. My car is a Canadian model 74 dart sport with a slant 6 and 904. I have rebuilt the engine and am now...

@Mattax I am also fairly certain this car did not use the 65A alternator. The old one I got the car with wasnt anyway. Unfortunately I am not able to use a mechanical pump in my application. I will be installing a holley sniper 2300 shortly that needs 58 psi, as well as adding a turbo shortly...

@Mattax The larger red wire that runs to the ignition relay has a blue tag and blue link. Thanks for the info on the programs. I have used MSPaint a lot but I havent heard of the other ones. I will have to look them up.

@Mattax Also is there a program you are using for these wiring diagrams? Seems like a useful tool

@Mattax To address some of your questions. I know the car was a canadian build, and yes it does have a rear window defroster which could be that mystery wire. The 18ga yellow wire runs to a switch and relay which wasnt stock, looks to be for an aftermarket something or other. I was going to use...

Thank you @67Dart273 and @Mattax. Those diagrams are making a lot more sense with your explanations. I had the wiring diagrams in my Haynes manual for the car but when looking at those I always find it confusing with the diagrams being so busy. As Mattax mentioned the car is a 74 Dart Sport with...

Hello members, I am having some trouble getting some wiring sorted out on the car, mainly where the gauge cluster gets power from and where my alternator lead plugs in. There is a harness connection at the firewall with a red wire and 2 black wires, heavier gauge, shown below. The red wire...

It may bind up, I do agree. I set up the bar before I changed out my rear leaf bushings and it went from lots of lateral movement to nothing. Then when I swapped the bushing, in my kit I noticed the hangers were different. Turns out the old owner had extended the shackles. So with new shackles...

Yeah I regret taping it but I think I can use a fine steel wool pad and soften the edges a bit. I used a soft tape edge, as in I flipped the tape back on itself so that it wasn't a hard edge but now I see that doesn't help much. Oh well

While I was working on the 2 patches on the quarters, I took out the dash aswell. Forgot to grab some process pictures but it has been cleaned up, rust converted, patched where needed, and painted again. The dash pad I buffed with some leather conditioner and scrub bad, then polished. Came out...
