Physically removed coil and found the positive terminal internally broken on the coil. Thanks again for all of the advice!!

Any suggestions on where to look?

4 pin ballast and an ohm meter

I'm a GM tech, never experienced this kind of problems .

I know that, but to be honest I never thought it would cause ballast failure.

1973 Dodge Dart Swinger 318

Yes it is. All circuits to the ballast s Have less than a .1 voltage drops.2 years ago I replaced the alternator because of a bearing noise, during component inspection found the regulator melted, installed and AC Delco replacement and replaced the factory ignition module because the module was...

Went from a crank no start to engine runs with intermittent stalling back to a no start. Plugs are fuel fueled and low power out of coil again. Another ballast resistor burnt out. Any thoughts on an upgrade to bypass this ballast? It's a 4 pin Ballast, I've looked at the TSP HEI Coil but will...

Ballast was replaced for a no start concern, the no charge was a side effect of the initial concern

Trickle chargers are not recommended for most batteries nowadays to recover a depleted battery.

Runs like a champ. Just shows that some of this new diagnostic equipment does not work correctly

Ok. Thanks for all your help. I feel a little silly. I had the battery tested and charged at a chain location and it tested fully charged and good. I brought my carbon pile tester home and it shows good but still low. I put the battery on a high amp charger and the battery came fully back. Now...

When it wouldn't start I replaced the ballast and replaced the regulator when I noticed the overcharging. Last year I installed a new alternator not a rebuilt. I replaced the entire primary wire up to the bulkhead 6 months ago

Raises with RPM. Charged the battery and replaced the voltage Regulator

I have a 1973 Swinger with a 318. About a week ago I had a crank no start issue, my ignition ballast took a dump. I replaced the ballast and cleaned the plugs , she started but now I am overcharging. I replaced the voltage regulator but no good. Everything was ok when I parked but after a week...

I have a 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger with a 318 she cranks but does not start, I can smell fuel I have a light spark coming out of the ignition coil nothing coming out of the distributor any ideas. Noted that the ballast resistor becomes warm with key on but never gets hot. Ran fine 10 days ago. No...

Ok kids. Changed Voltage Regulator and I'm up and running. The ones from the parts houses suck. If anyone needs one use AC Delco # C603Z. Any GM dealer can order it up and it's about the same price as the one from China.

Ok. Ran through all of this. No spark with the green wire but terminal has B+. Green wire has continuity from end to end. Ground Field terminal and system operates as designed. My thought is a faulty VR or poor connection at the regulator.

Ok, replaced the alternator. Now I'm not charging. Gauge reads zero. Put the lights on and go to -20. Any ideas?

I do that alot in work.... great suggestion

Good advice. Never would have thought of that. Thank you very much

Thanks for the advice. Good looking out

LA small block.

Cool. Thanks for that. I tend to use a grease pencil and mark everything before disassembling. Appreciate the torque heads up.

Besides the PCV itself was there other concerns?

Orientation?

GM Guy here, new to Mopar. Oil consumption without leaks and seeing light smoke out the tailpipe. Suspected valve seals. Never dealt with these ... do I just remove the rockers as an assembly?

Thanks for all the prompt responses. I'll try an alternator tomorrow and will let y'all know

Sorry about that I thought the first was in the wrong area.
