I had a similar issue where my horn suddenly started going off and wouldn't stop. I had to disconnect the horn. Later, when I went to start troubleshooting the problem, it was working fine again. That was like five years ago. ???

Resurrecting my topic here....going through a divorce so normal life has been put on hold for a while! But I'm gonna need to get the car running again to get it moved.... Back in October, I had the car running again just fine. I still don't know what the problem was. Once it was running with...

That would be the brown wire connected to the + side of the ignition coil I assume. Yes, it's 12V there. It's also 12V on the blue wire side too, that's connected to the voltage regulator. Well, close to it. I get more like 11.5V both sides. If the resistor blew open one side would be dead...

There are only three vacuum lines in the carb, they are either hooked up or blocked, yes. Probably shouldn't have a computer so close to the garage, cause it's easy to post the hell out of a thread. lol. Okay, so I'm finding something strange about the coil (or the wiring going to it...

Alright, something fishy is going on. I sometimes lose spark altogether. I have it right now, and I just checked all cylinder wires and they are getting spark and seem to be in time (pattern of timing light flash is same to the eye). (I keep checking this quickly by using a timing light for the...

Distributor is clamped down tight. I had timing set, advanced to about 10 BTDC and it was running smooth. Edit: I checked this by getting the timing mark pretty close to sitting at 10 BTDC and rotor is pointing towards the #1 cylinder wire. So okay there. Cam timing jump? How does this...

Well I bought a new box. It's just a plain aftermarket one from AutoZone. Chrome though not black. I plugged it in, and I got spark back. However it seems the spark is more orange now than blue. But I'm back where I was....the engine almost wants to start up but does not. I got spark for sure...

So that's what that resistor does. I figured being in the proximity of the wiper motor, it had to be part of it's function. I assumed the dashboard switch (working as a pot) did the speeds.

I've been concerned about this too, with the backfiring it has done, but I'm hoping the blowout protection is keeping it safe until I get that problem fixed. And there is the obvious problem of no spark. Waiting on order of an ecu....

Well you've got me sold on it. Out to get a new box this weekend. Although the standard parts stores around here don't seem to carry the perfomance orange or chrome boxes. Just black. I might get one of those to keep as a spare and use until I get the orange one again. I had a 4 door Dart...

Hmmmm....will it really cause ignition to be intermittent? I figured it'd work right or it would fail completely. It has a ground wire, doesn't it? Or does it get ground just from being mounted to the car body? It should have ground, since it ran fine before, but I guess overtime that physical...

I've run into another brick wall..... In trying to make adjustments to my carburetor, something else has come up so now I can't tune the carb because the engine won't run! The package: 71 Scamp, stock 318, 904 trans, 4bbl Holley 1850 carb with Weiand Stealth intake, upgraded to Mopar...
