    Horn Problems With Tuff Wheel

    1973 Dart Swinger with a 318. Pretty unique question but my dad and I put the car together when I was 16 about 9 years ago. When we did we did a tuff wheel conversion and I remember running into a problem where the horn would continue to blow when trying to install the adapter. The work around...

    Spark when key is turned to the off position?

    Thanks everyone for the help so far. Since I've last posted the car has started. Then later on that day it didn't. Kind of like a problem I was having a while back that I thought was due to the connectors at the bulkhead. Well since I was getting that spark every time I let off the key I figured...

    Spark when key is turned to the off position?

    my dad and I rebuilt the car and he was the brains behind the operation to say the least and I have since moved way taking the car with me. So consider me to be completely ignorant and learning as I go haha. So simplified down how would one go about testing to see if the 5 ohm ballast is open?

    Spark when key is turned to the off position?

    also does the ballast resistor need to be mounted to the car as far as a ground? the resistor just kind of sits there and is not mounted but as far as I can remember its been like that. Could that be an issue?

    Spark when key is turned to the off position?

    Just to clarify the car never got washed so it should be dry so that should not be an issue. And the car will not start at all. The car started the other day and ran fine. Now the car won't start at all. So that should not be a ballast resistor problem right?

    Spark when key is turned to the off position?

    No spark at the plugs, I'll take a look at the ballast resistor

    Spark when key is turned to the off position?

    I have a 73 dart with a 318 and edelbrock carb. I went out a couple days ago and started and it run for about 5 minutes. Today I decided to wash it but when I went to start it it wasn't having it. Immediately went to check for spark and noticed that nothing was happening while cracking but it...

    Cam for a 318?

    What are your guys' opinion on a cam for my 73 318 and what should I take in to account when looking for one

    Thought I fixed it, turns out I didn't. Still not wanting to start.

    To sum it up my 73 dart has a 318 and its being a pain. I''ll start it up. Runs fine. I'll shut it off and then start it back up. Runs fine. I'll shut it off, wait about five to ten minutes and then try to start it and nothing. All it does is turn over but doesn't fir. I've replaced the ECU...

    Starts, then doesn't start, then starts again.

    So I started with the ECU just because that's what I'm most familiar with. Scraped the firewall and cleaned it to get the best connection I could. Went and got a little bit longer bolts and got the star lock washers and out a nut on the back side. Started right up. Hopefully that fixes it but if...

    Starts, then doesn't start, then starts again.

    So my dad and I rebuilt my 73 dart about 3 years ago. Shortly after that I joined the military and left it in California. Over the past two years I've gone home several times and never had a problem with my car. About a month ago I got a friend of mine to trailer it to North Dakota where I'm...
