Yes checked that. I have not taken the gauge out yet and checked with a 9 volt batt.

I need a used fuel gauge to fit a 1974 Duster please.

The black wire from my alternator came off the + side coil when I looked at my saved pics before replacing . I added a key on wire to the + side for the ecu only . Fires fine now When running, and I turn the key off, it does stop running . You made perfect sense in your helpful statement...

My problem was the new distributor bought from eBay. The reluctor and pick up could not be set. Too much slop I appreciate you guys Keep er safe

Thanks, will try when the rain stops hers in Texas. Can the distributor pickup be checked by a ohms test ?

If the alternator thick black wire is shared by the the other side of the ballast resistor, maybe the eyelet went to the negative side of the coil ?

Yes, I understand. Thank you

The black one on bottom, my green seems to be going where it needs to. Will try what you said later today. Thanks !

Will try again. I know I have power to it with key on, have not checked while cranking.

That does make sense,

I agree, thank you , must have an issue inside the new distributor then,,,

Thanks, this helps a lot , I have it wired right because the blue from the box wants key on and the big wire from the alternator share the same side ballast resistor no matter where the splice or connection is. Right ?

The The weird thing is it had an eyelet on it that I believe ran to the positive side coil maybe it is shared by those connections ?
