‘64 Dart Carburetor Help

The electronic ignitions aren't perfect either. If the points are dirty, clean 'em. If they are worn or the condensor fails, then replace.
Sounds like a new cap and rotor may be needed but just going from what you typed, which is not much to go on for reaching solid conclusion.


More important. Charge that battery on a charger. Don't use the car's alternator if you can help it when its been run down like that.
Besides being hard on the wires, it can be hard on the battery (gets hot while charging fast) and the alternator (working at maximum for long period of time).

A good feature of your car, like most older cars and trucks, is that you can monitor the battery charging by observing the ammeter.
Chrysler labled that gage 'alternator', which confuses many people. I was one of those many.
Anyway - the ammeter shows how much current the battery is discharging, and then when the alternator is running it shows how much current is flowing to the battery for recharging. When the battery is recharged, the ammeter will show Zero.
The meter calibration is 40 amps discharge to 40 amps charging. If the needle is close to either extreme, that's way too much!
