Riddle me this, Mopar electrical experts.......

I don't know where I picked up the voltage I assumed, l but in your first post, you say coil has "low or not volts" on cranking. This indicates a problem with the coil resistor bypass circuit. This is a separate terminal on the ignition switch that is hot only in start, and goes directly through the bulkhead to the coil side of the ballast resistor, in other words to the + side of the coil. It's ONLY purpose is to supply hot 12V to the coil during crank.

Normally, the "run" voltage goes cold during crank. To see if this is true, pull one of the leads off the starter relay so the starter cannot run. Turn the key to run, and check voltage at the KEY side of the ballast, not the coil side. Then, with the meter propped up where you can see it, twist the key to "start" and see if the "run" voltage goes away.
