We're not worthy, we're not worthy....
Talk like this will put you on my favorite member list.... That may not have sounded right..
This is the post where I misunderstood about the oil. My apologies. Like I said I haven't felt worth a carp today. No excuse I guess. I probably shouldn't have even been on here tonight.

DD, I hope the dying issue is solved and the cooling issue is a simple one for you!

I normally go in with the part number. 822388 is their part number for 10w-30.

Restore it, Dont part it!
I have adhd and I'm dyslexic!! Its hard knock life for me for me..... oh looks a squirrle!
Haha
Well... i thought I fixed the coil, but it seems that the tach was not causing the coil to start firing when the car goes into the on position before cranking over. I took a video, this is the sound I've heard since I got the car which made me always think I had an electric fuel pump.... its not an electric fuel pump its the coil firing haha.

Shoot... depends on what you call simple lol. Seems like everything on this car for me takes a bit more work than most.

Did it die? The coil buzzing is an odd issue. It seems like something is wired wrong (which you've gone over and I believe it was sorted) or a possible ignition module problem making the coil buzz constantly.
I havent driven it, just moved it out of the garage as my wife was putting our baby down for a nap. Ill take it for a spin here in a second.
I'm trying to trace the wiring right now, I'm looking stthe jegs ecm directions. The biggest problem I have tracing the wiring is I dont know anything about the stock harness.
Here is what I have found regarding the wiring. I have 2 wires that are exposed, both seem to be from where PO installed the ecm possibly. One exposed wire goes to this little black thing where the battery connects and I believe the starter connects (green circle is exposed wire and I traced the wire in green). Other wire is circled in red and traced in red, that wire goes down to the starter itself.
you know who and you're gonna know who here shortly. lol
I won't derail again, I just wanted to remind Johnny.

Those bare and broken wires need to be addressed badly. I hate to say it, but some of the wiring looks hacked to death. You've got to remember too, some of this wiring is 50+ years old, things unfortunately happen.
Well go back and read what I posted, and that includes the diagrams.
Sure as hell can't be more difficult than learning how all the thingamagigs connect to stuff inside a persons mouth.
As far as the way chrysler ECU can be wired into a 70-71, there's a diagram here.
Anyone Familiar With a Blue Wire w/ Yellow Stripe Along Firewall?
Plenty more info out there. Once you understand the basics you can seperate the chaf from the wheat.

False haha. The mouth is way easier for me. You'd think I'd be better with electronics because the body uses currents to sent impulses from nerves to the brain...
I replaced the ecm and now it won't start
I also don't hear a buzzing... that may be attributed to the ecm or it may be attributed to the no starting problem. There is fuel in the carb, I watched the fuel shoot into the carb when I pressed the throttle lever...
I took the wire off the coil, when turning the ignition and cranking the car over Im not seeing any spark. Ill have to figure out what got disconnected when I took off the ecm. Should I have some kind of grease on the new prongs for the ecm?
It started for a split second and instantly died. So there is probably a bad connection somewhere.

I believe the ignition module needs to be grounded (the actual body). Of course, new parts can be crap right out of the box. You just disconnected the old and replace it with the new right?
Yes I disconnected the old ecm and installed the new one. I was thinking maybe it was getting a bad ground on the body due to the paint (even though it was in the same spot).
I actually figured the problem out... the yellow and black wire was attached to the negatige post on the coil as it should be but it wasnt making good contact with the wire terminal (is that the word for the wire connector)
I also didnt hear buzzing before it starting.
I wonder if that shotty connection is actually what has been making the car die and not restart....
you might have found the problem.

You definitely want the ECU to be grounded properly.
Some of the ECU'S are painted front and back. Take a screwdriver and scrape the paint off the 2 bolt mounting areas on the back of the ECU. And then, take the same screw driver and scrape the paint off the car where the ECU mounts. Only scrape the paint off the car where the ECU will cover.
This will give you a nice ground.
On my slant car, I added a ground jumper wire, for a good ground.
