Mopar dies when key is released

First thing i'd do is put an MSD box or HEI unit in it. Eliminate that ballast resistor, a bunch of wiring and that Factory ECU box. You'll be happy you did.

X2 - Just went through same issue, checked all the connections and electrical components. Drove me "NUTS":banghead: Finally did narrow it down to bulkhead connector. The female spade connectors were too loose. Got the wires fixes by drilling bulkhead and splicing wires then I put in the HEI ignition from Trailbeast. No starting problems now and much cleaner engine bay.:cheers::cheers::cheers:
