Have you had any progress? I had a similar problem went through replaced coil then ballast then ecu then wires ended up needing a distributor and the timing tinkered with and she fired up, are you getting any spark at all? Before the ballast wast cranking at all. Does it just crank over now...

This post really has me intrigued I have a 73 valiant, you said you want to keep her as correct as possibly ?

have a 73 valiant with a198 in her and have a buddy with a289 with a 4 barrel intake out of a 65 mustang not sure on condition he wants a couple hundred for it, I have another buddy that has a 350 out of a Chevy 1500!he will give me for free just not sure on condition either said he "took a few...

SHES ALIVE !!!!!! She was converted to Elric points and it was bad along with timing she's dialed and running better than ever

Will clean the connectors and get back to you, as far as the choke the electrical was disconnected long ago and I actually replaced the unit a couple weeks again with a brand new choke.

I will update tomorrow with any new info

How so replace or clip and reconnect with out the connector

So I think I found the or a problem spot it in the harness that the wire from the coil goes into I attached a pic I'm reading 12 volts on the side from the bulk head at the fire wall and when connected it reads 5.6-6 volts same as on the coil it's self

Yeah when cranked battery reads out 10.9-11.3 the battery is now drained I had recharged it last night but trying to crank it all day killed it again. Stating to think it's somewhere in my ignition switch or related problem seeing as how this is nearing the end of my list

It didn't do the back fire when I cranked it with the key and used the jumper wire to the pos terminal on the coil

1............Turn the key to "run" and ground one meter probe. Probe around on your ballast resistor for the HIGHEST reading, which should be the two connectors which are looped together (You do have a 4 pin resistor is that right?) Post that readings = yeah 4 pin resistor...

So I tried the lead from battery + to ignition coil +. I'm by my self so I had to bypass the starter but I cranked her and touched the lead to the coil pos and it gave a lil back fire so I'm assuming I have a spark when I do that. Does that eliminate or narrow down my problem

I couldn't really tinker with I yesterday due to wild kids lol but I will be right under they hood I'll have an update ASAP thanks for all the help

This is the meter I have it's a innova 3306 here's a link to the image of it http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41A8oATzAxL._SS500_.jpg

Not sure if this has any relation with my prob but at freeway speeds it started running pretty rough the past week or so before she died. I thought it was my choke cuz my butterfly valve was open so I replaced that but it didn't solve my problem running rough problem fixed the valve though

Yeah it's spinning

I have not tried the lead from battery was going to try it when I get home from picking my daughter up at school, I'm getting the volts reading with the tester on pos and neg terminals on the ignition coil with key in on position it reads 4.7 when engine is cranked with key it reads no higher...

Hey guys I got a 73 valiant 4 door with 198 motor. She cranks but no spark from coil, only occasionally when I turn back to off position I get 1 late fire that causes a small back fire out of my intake. I replaced the ignition coil, ballast resistor, starter relay coil wire and ecu I'm racking...

Hey guys sorry to jump in your post and hijack but I am having a similar problem same car 73 valiant 4 door with 198 motor. She cranks but no spark from coil, only occasionally when I turn back to off position I get 1 late fire that causes a back fire out of my intake. I replaced the ignition...
