Strange starting issue

sledger46 said

I started checking voltages and found the coil was getting 10.50 - 11.0 volts during crank and 6.5 volts while running. Maybe I should check to see if the ignition box is getting any voltage while cranking. The car cranks fine but still will not start until the key is returned to the run position. This is almost like the exact opposite of a bad ballast resistor.
Any more ideas?
Thanks

Maybe an intermittent

I'm not familiar with what you mean by a "summit" system is this the same as Mopar ECU system, or what?

If so, check the gap in the dist. Unplug the dist pickup and hook your meter to the dist. connector. With the meter on low AC volts, crank the engine, and look for 1V AC OUT of the dist.

Might be wiring/ connector at the box??

"Push/pull" the box connector a few times to scrub it clean.
