    Need help with headlight switch wiring, please

    Does anybody have a picture of the backside of the connector that plugs into the headlight switch for my Dart, that you can post? The wires popped out of the connector and I have no idea which wire goes onto which terminal on the headlight switch. A wiring diagram is not specific enough as it...

    That makes sense. Wish me luck. I'd rather take a beating than deal with electrical stuff. Thanks for your help.

    Need help finding one particular wire...

    On abodyjoe's diagram, the brown wire that has power in the "on" position connects to one side of the ballast resistor. Since I no longer need the resistor can I run that brown wire directly to the + terminal on the coil? Where should the blue "key on" wire run to since I don't need the Mopar...

    Need help finding one particular wire...

    To preface, last winter I rewired the underhood harness on my ’73 Dart Sport 340. Instead of going with the factory style harness and spade connectors, I bought several different colored rolls of wire and used weather pack connectors. I also used a weather pack bulkhead connector. Because I am...

    Need to find switched 12v wire that's hot while cranking & with key in ON position

    OK. I hope I can explain this where it makes sense. Mainly, I'm trying to talk myself through this. The picture is of the wiring diagram for my '73 Dart. Because I used the complete Accel ignition system, I removed the ballast resistor and the factory ECU. The negative wire for the Accel coil...

    Need to find switched 12v wire that's hot while cranking & with key in ON position

    Well, I found the brown wire and hooked it to my ignition box. The car fired right up but died as soon as I let off the key. So, I put my volt meter on it. Sure enough, there are 0 volts with the key in the run position.

    Need to find switched 12v wire that's hot while cranking & with key in ON position

    I've got a good wiring diagram already for my Dart. But, your answer about the brown wire just made me go DOH!. I will hunt for that wire tonight. Thanks.

    Need to find switched 12v wire that's hot while cranking & with key in ON position

    The picture shows the system I'm using. But, I'm running an MP distributor, instead of an Accel unit. Otherwise there is no difference. I've got it wired exactly like the instructions say, except for the switched wire. As you can see, it's a really simple set up. I just can't find a suitable...

    Need to find switched 12v wire that's hot while cranking & with key in ON position

    I've wired in a complete Accel 300+ ignition system. I need to find a switched 12v source that is hot while cranking and with the key in the ON position. The middle wire on the starter relay is hot while cranking but, as soon as I let off the key, the engine dies. So, obviously, that is not...

    Question for those running Accel 300+ ignition

    By running one of their complete systems, can you eliminate using the Mopar ballast resistor?

    Smoked my Dart's wiring harness...now what?

    After fixing all the wiring, I ended up just getting another 78 amp alternator from O'Reilly. That 114 amp unit they have listed for my car would come nowhere close to fitting with serious fab work. It is HUGE. I figure as long as I don't drive at night, the alternator will keep up with the...

    Smoked my Dart's wiring harness...now what?

    I took the alternator to O'Reilly this afternoon to have it checked. The rectifier is bad. First, I cleaned up the wiring, then I took the alternator off my '71 Dart and put it on the '73. The '73 fired right up. O'Reilly has an OE replacement 78 amp alternator for $55. They also have a 140...

    Smoked my Dart's wiring harness...now what?

    This is on my '73 Dart Sport 340. I hate electrical problems. Anyway, I accidentally grounded my alternator when my wife was cranking the engine while I was checking for spark. I hate electrical problems. The blue field wire on the alternator smoked from the alternator to the junction block...

    Need a good alternator. Any recommendations?

    Would somebody please recommend a good, relatively inexpensive, three wire alternator that puts out around 90 amp? I've currently got a 75 amp unit. But, when I have both electric fans on high and have the headlights on, everything gets dim. Plus I can hear the fans slow down. The fans and...
