If i check spark at the coil wire its good. Check it when i remove a plug and intermittent spark at the plug. ?????

I have a 68 dart w a 360. W elec ignition. Im only getting spark every 3rd or 4th revolution. Is it a bad coil or ballast res. Or what could cause this?

Yes and yes. I have an edelbrock rpm performer intake and edelbrock 600 carb. I had an electrical fire under the hood about a year ago and I got a wire harness out of a 74 dart and wired it myself. Just the basic wiring, nothing fancy. However, I'm not positive I have the alternator, voltage...

I have the choke flaps on the carb wired open. Will it make a difference if I adjust the choke? Should I have the choke wired up in order for the carb to function properly?

I have a '68 dart w/a '78 360 I recently put back on the road. It seems to run good until it warms up then it sputters and pops and runs like crap. Once it cools off it seems to be running good again. But once it warms up its back to backfire city. My question is I'm wanting to know whether...

I don't guess I know what I'm looking for exactly. If I use a test light to backtrack, how will I know when I've found my problem? A diagram would be awesome, especially if it had the ecu box, alternator, coil, voltage regulator, ballast resistor, starter relay, and ignition switch. I'm sure...

My car is a 68 and i have a two wire ballast resistor, i also bought a 4 prong ballast resistor but cant seem to find the right diagram, Whicb one should I use? I have a 4 pin box w a 5 pin plug

After what seems like forever, my dart is almost road worthy again. However. I have one problem, It starts and runs great but won't shut off when I turn the key. is it a bad ignition(key) switch or do I still have a wire in the wrong place. Any help is always appreciated. By the way, thank...

I have a '68 dart w/ a 360. I have converted to electronic ignition. I have found several diagrams But none that have exactly what I need to know. I will start from the beginning. I have a black box Ignition w 4 pins but my wiring has 5 pin setup. I have a dual field alternator w/ new style...

Thanks for the info everybody. What I'm trying to do is build a '68 dart w a 360 that I can take to the track and play on the street. Would I be better off buying a set of edelbrock heads off e-bay?

I'm looking to buy another 360 to build. I've heard that "X" heads are the best if they can be found. I looked at an engine today that supposedly came out of a '71 pickup. It has a huge oil pan which leads me to believe it probably did come out of a truck. My question is how do I tell which...

I have a '68 dart project car that recently caught on fire under the hood due to bad wiring. I want to replace any and everything that could possibly cause this to happen again. Fortunately not much was damaged but if I hadn't had a fire extinguisher handy I wouldn't have to worry about...

I recently had a fire under the hood of my 68 dart w/360. A friend was helping to get thebasic wiring for the ignition ran and it had no fire until the key.was shut off. I had this problem.once before but forgot what I did to solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated

I recently put a new alternator, voltage regulator, starter relay,dist. cap, and rotor on my '68 dart with a 360. Finally my charging issues are over, however now i have a new issue. It was running great but pinged a little at high rpms. I turned the distributor a fraction and thought i would...
