Glowing Coil Terminal

domdart said
I fired up the car last night, popped the hood, then noticed the negative terminal on the coil glowing red. I just put a 72 340 into a 68 Dart. I have a new V8 harness. Everything seems to work fine. The engine fires right up and charges. I do have my Edelbrock electric choke connected to the coil. Edelbrock instructions state to hook it into the fuse block. Of course, any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks FABO.

Even back in 68 that car may have had provisions for electric choke, my 73 Duster does. If it doesn't you need to dedicate a wire for it that is only hot when the ignition is in run position. it's a pain in the *** but you gotta do it. Trust me it is more work worrying about it than just getting it done.
