Hate to start another thread ... but.. help !

No I dont leave the ignition key in the on position all the time.

All the ignition system components are listed in my original post.

The 4 volts at the coil is while the car is at idle. Which as I am told should be at least 8-9 volts. The voltage will also drop to 3 or less at times.

The engine does have a very slight misfire every now and then.
Plugs and wires seem to be working properly.

Vacuum could be a issue I suppose, but that wouldnt explain the 4 volts at the coil... unless... i have more then one problem which wouldnt suprise me.

I have just recieved and new vac guage set for my b-day so I will be checking that.

The coil is indeed horizontal, but has been for a long time. Keep in mind that I still have 4 volts or less using the MSD blaster or the stock Chrsyler one so one should match with the ballast.

I will change the ballast out, but I dont have a lot of hope thats my issue.

The car fires up, runs good, revs up solid..... just kills out when stabbed in gear..... yes.. we checked for torque convertor issues... everything there seems ok as well....

So ??? Vacuum or electrical I assume.

thanks people....
