harness fire...

OK....

i had to take some time away from the car to get my bearings. my Chrysler 100 amp alt was a no go as the pulley was seized to the shaft and the shop cracked it. so i had them build me a 100amp, internally regulated delco unit. i made some brackets and got that sucker on there with a single output cable goin direct to the batt.

i went back to square one and kept note of trouble shooting basics. after a while i found that the dash side was ok, i was getting power through the firewall on all ignition circuits... after some more diagnostics i determined there was no continuity between the bulk head connection and the terminal on the ballast resistor, the ignition1 (blu/whit) wire. dont know how the hell i missed this, the fact that it was a new harness probly!

so i tear open the new and freshly wrapped up harness. sure enough there was a break in the ignition wire from a bad splice!!!!! i soldered the connection back together, buttoned up the engine bay and the dash.... now she starts right up and runs beautify. excellent throttle response on the engine and she's runnin nice and cool for me. I am very excited to have the car in one piece.

I beat the electrical fire that ignited on day one almost a month ago!!!! My mopar now boast a brand new wiring system as well as a 100amp output and dedicated heavy duty 8gauge cables for the power system. shes ready for any and everything electrical i can throw at her! cant wait to do a cool custom gauge bezel setup... also, I called the shop who made the harness for me and they kicked me some cash back to resolve the issue.

Now i have to get that ol 727 3 speed adjusted up so she will shift properly and Im ready for the road!!!!

Thank you to everyone for the advice, resource information and moral boost! it got me through this nightmare.
