Have you had any progress? I had a similar problem went through replaced coil then ballast then ecu then wires ended up needing a distributor and the timing tinkered with and she fired up, are you getting any spark at all? Before the ballast wast cranking at all. Does it just crank over now...
have a 73 valiant with a198 in her and have a buddy with a289 with a 4 barrel intake out of a 65 mustang not sure on condition he wants a couple hundred for it, I have another buddy that has a 350 out of a Chevy 1500!he will give me for free just not sure on condition either said he "took a few...
Will clean the connectors and get back to you, as far as the choke the electrical was disconnected long ago and I actually replaced the unit a couple weeks again with a brand new choke.
So I think I found the or a problem spot it in the harness that the wire from the coil goes into I attached a pic I'm reading 12 volts on the side from the bulk head at the fire wall and when connected it reads 5.6-6 volts same as on the coil it's self
Yeah when cranked battery reads out 10.9-11.3 the battery is now drained I had recharged it last night but trying to crank it all day killed it again. Stating to think it's somewhere in my ignition switch or related problem seeing as how this is nearing the end of my list
1............Turn the key to "run" and ground one meter probe. Probe around on your ballast resistor for the HIGHEST reading, which should be the two connectors which are looped together (You do have a 4 pin resistor is that right?) Post that readings = yeah 4 pin resistor...
So I tried the lead from battery + to ignition coil +. I'm by my self so I had to bypass the starter but I cranked her and touched the lead to the coil pos and it gave a lil back fire so I'm assuming I have a spark when I do that. Does that eliminate or narrow down my problem
