Looking for assistance. The 360 will crank and turn over, fires up, but only stays running for as long as I'm holding the key to the start position. As soon as I release it, it dies and it almost sounds like the starter is whining down.

I'm clueless... Any ideas?
 
Ignition ballast resistor is broken/burned internally.
Temporarly bypass the 2 sides of the resistor with a wire and try again.
 
Back in the day used to keep 2 in my glove box at all times. One for me & one for friends broke down on the road...

It’s a problem as old as these cars themselves!

Some newer ignition controller boxes allow you to just slap a jumper wire in there and leave it but it seems like this deprives us of a genuine Mopar experience :D
