Car was running. I wrapped the wires. Car will not start, but gets spark. Unwrapped wires, looked for any, and all wires/connections that could be bad, and replaced them. Looked at wiring diagram for possible missing grounds, and incorrect wiring, found none. All wiring now looks good. All...

I used the ECU from AutoZone. I sent the 2 Summit ECUs back for refund.They failed diagnostic tester. The AutoZone ECU is blue. The Summit ECUs are orange. The fit on the aftermarket distributor connector is better on the orange ECUs. Unfortunately neither one worked despite being the exact same...

Switch was good. Traced wires. wire to ballast resistor had a brown wire with a tracer connected to it for no reasonand then tied into resistor wire.Also discovered cracked connector at ampmeter. Turned over w/stock distributor. It fires but doesn't stay running. I decide that as long as the...

OK got spark to plugs. Ran 12V directly from battery. Removed 12V from fuse box. Turned over with starter relay on fender. It has got to be the ignition switch. I am going to pull and inspect/clean, and try again later. If no start... I will replace.

Added wire from the fuse box got 12V to + side of coil. Remove wire, and nothing. I also have spark from distributor.(found that the electronic distributor was no good not producing spark), I also found a bad wire to the sensor on the intake manifold) So now I have a coil, and a distributor that...

Did not fire. Gave coil 12v does not fire. Checking ignition switch next I guess.

Changed back over to original distributor. Came in to check thread before attempting to start. Did not yet switch from "hot coil" to original. Eliminating ECU for now.

I have a points type distributor that I can put back in. Do I go back to stock coil? What about the voltage regulator? What are the symptoms if it is not functioning properly? I have a solid state aftermarket replacement in the car at this time. The car turns over but does not start. It does not...

OK First check coil resistances. Primary is between 1.3-1.8 secondary is 1.998. Blue wire from ballast to + side 12V. blue ignition wire hooked to + side 12V. Black tach ground, and black and yellow wires to - side of coil. To be extra careful; after everything that has to do with removing wires...

Possible,but I don't think so. When it turns over it seems normal. And when I said adjusted the rocker arms; I was embarrassed to admit that when I put the rocker assembly back together; I had the lefts on the right, and the rights on the left, but only on one side. I then torqued the assembly...

Tomorrow I am going to go over everything, and I am going to keep a log of everything I do from start to finish. If the thing does not start after all of my efforts; I will post the log, and maybe someone can point out what I do wrong, or don't do, or anything. I really appreciate all of the...

Exactly what I was thinking. So I tried the box. Car still does not start. Took box back to Advance Auto Parts to recheck. Box is still good. Now that is isolated as not the problem. Can the coil still be bad despite passing primary, and secondary resistance test? What other checks can I do...

Dig this! I just got back from Advance Auto Parts. I had the ECUs tested. They were all bad! Tested one off of the shelf. It passed! I bought it, and am about to install it. In conclusion: I received 2 ECUs in two days new in box direct from Summit, and both were junk, and cost $4 more each (not...

Already checked those wires both with key on, and off, and verified that they are wired accordinding to diagram/instructions. Plug to ECU is only a year or so old, all wires are like brand new. If ECUs turn out to be OK; I will probably go after HEI distributor next.

Worked on today. Changed out bad wires checked, and added ground wires. Fixed possible short near ampmeter gauge.Checked reluctor with brass feeler for the 10th time. Checked coil; coil is good. Used 2nd coil, and measured primary, and secondary resistance on both. Both measured the same...

Worked on it all weekend. I have either a short, or a bad ground because of voltage drop before resistor. Going over the wires one by one starting with ignition switch, and replacing bad wire with new. Two possible problem areas are horn relay, and gauge cluster.Wires look pretty nasty in those...

Engine did run. I had to shut down to adjust rocker arms. Shorted wire against coil, and problem started. Waited a day for valve cover gasket to dry. Fully expected car to start really thought nothing of shorted wire until car refused to start.Car has not run ever since. That was last Saturday...

Just switched back to points distrib. and got spark (sort of) backfired first, then turned distrib., and got rumbles but it would not maintain running. It acted like it wanted to start but just will not. Set back to TDC pulled distrib. came inside to check thread. Will print out other...

Got new ECU. No change. Bypassed ballast no change.Checked ballast looks like new on back-side, and establishes continuity. checked coil w/ key on 12 V going in 12 V going out. Changed out coil nothing. All wires good, all fuses good. Checked distributor 12 V going out.Got to wait for other...

Thank you! That is encouraging! I ordered the summit brand replacement. I bought it because I noticed that it had a 90 day warranty. The Mopar brand does not, and in fact they print a disclaimer that all Mopar parts except the crate engines, are sold "as is". How is the Napa warranty? If they...

Coil shows voltage going in, and out with key in on position. Fuel is not a problem. Ballast has continuity. Absolutely no sign of spark to wires. Engine just turns over, and over. No pop, no cough, no indication of combustion. Is there any way of testing the un-energized ECU box? I did probe...

Has anyone out their purchased an orange ECU that was junk out of the box? I have been trying for days to fire my 318 up. I have trouble shooted, and traced all of my wires, and all seem correct. Resistor is good. Distributor is new replacement w/orange box that I tied into system, and was...

Thanks! Now how do I tell if my ECU is good? What should the pins read out on a 4 pin orange (6000 RPM) unit? I am pretty sure that I accidently fried mine when I shorted a wire while testing rogue wires with the ignition switch turned on. My pin to ground readings are zero, including the pin...

How can you test a ballast resistor to find out whether it is good or fried? Is it just a matter of checking continuity from one connector to the other?

The one that I bought was from eBay. It was a pretty good fit. The rubber thing is red instead of black. It came with everything needed except directions, but the ones posted here are excellent. You have to knock out the pin in order to put the new rubber piece on. My old retainer cap was bent...

Thank you for the "leg work" .FABO is the best for research. It would have taken me days. or even weeks to obtain these answers just a few years ago!! This site has proven to be a crucial tool throughout my current project!

Where can I find a blown-up diagram of the coupler side of a steering column for a 1967 Barracuda. I just need to see how the whole thing goes together with the shoes, the clip, the cover thing etc. Thanks:angry7:

I need drivers side tail light, or lens for 67 Barracuda. I recently backed into my engine stand, and broke the lens of my left rear tail lamp. If any one has one; let me know. I am in the Chicago area 60060. I will gladly pay for shipping if not in the vicinity.

I totally agree. I bought the 273 heads by mistake off of e-bay because I thought that I would save money on machining. but once I received them... I found that they were actually heads from a 273. I was under the impression that they were newer/different heads then what I actually purchased. I...

The pistons have not yet been purchased. I am awaiting measurements to see whether to order stock, or go .030, or .040 over. The reason that I put down "9:1 pistons" was as an reference to the compression that I am going for. I am considering using Speed-Pro H405 CP plus perfect Circle/Hastings...
