1969 Dodge Dart - Engine Compartment Main Bulkhead Connector

I had a problem with low voltage at the + coil preventing ignition on a 1970 E body. I spent 1 1/2 years trying to find the loss with help and patience from Mattax. I replaced my ingition switch, but my problem persisted. Finally I checked current under at a load at every connection- coming into and leaving. I learned having a load on the circuit is important, instead of just doing resistance tests.

I saw it was important to have good contact to get a better picture, and cut off some insulation, realizing it is critical to cover them back up so a fire does not happen. I had a loose male connector, but my problem was the voltage coming into the ammeter gauge was good, but the power coming out was low. I bypassed the gauge by hooking the negative wire on the gage together with the positive. I need to replace the gauge, but I found my problem.
