Check Ammeter gauge. I fried mine a few years back and had the same symptoms.

Just a thought, You may want to pull the dash cluster and check the contacts at the ammeter gauge. if they become corroded or loose the charging system will not work properly and you will not be getting proper voltage to start.

I had the same issues. I tried to wire it into my MSD 6 AL Box without success. And this was by going online and using MSD pdf instructions for a HEI style system. I also tried to wire it directly into existing ignition wiring and no luck. I gave up and reinstalled the stock dizzy and car fired...

I bought one and could never get it to fire. I Used a Mallory Coil and 6AL box a set of Accel wires and no matter which way I wired this damned dist, I could never get any spark to the plugs.

Switch may be out of adjustment. You should be able to adjust the switch so that when you let off on the brake pedal the switch will push in and close off the circuit and the lights should go out.

Wow nice set on those pictures you got there.

Check the ammeter gauge. My Duster had the same symptoms a while back. it was the post on the gauge was burned up. I ended up running a wire from my alternator post to the positive battery post bypassing the gauge until I bought a replacement gauge.

My headlights also do the same thing. I have the newer high intensity aftermarket lights that have the old style plugs on them. I have replaced both the switch and hi/low floor switch and the lights still flash on and off. I can turn em on and they will stay on for sometimes 15-20 mins and the...

How easy is it to disassemble a Mopar alternator to polish/restore??

In North Carolina no need for inspection if vehicle is 35 yrs or older.

Voltage regulator would mount on the inside passengers fender close to the loop that holds the heater hoses to the fender. The starter relay mounts on the drivers side inner fender behind the battery tray. Too dark to get any pictures of mine but I am sure someone out here can post a pic.

My wiper pivots were extremely hard to operate. I replaced them and now I got wipers.

Where have you grounded the negative cable to?

Check the engine to chassis ground wire also.

Check the bulkhead connector at the firewall. Also check the starter wires, the alternator connections and the ammeter gauge in the dash. Sometimes the ammeter gauge will burn out and the result is no charging and power loss.

The ammeter gauge is the gauge that shows the charging level. Should be on your dash cluster. Not sure of what model you are driving. You will need to pull the cluster out to get to the wires. It is the gauge with the two thick wires coming into one side and out the other on two separate posts...

Maybe a short at the ammeter gauge.

I bought a "new" blue top at Pep Boys and installed it in the parking lot. No power at all. I brought the POS back into the store and ended up getting a deep cycle battery for $99.00. Have not looked back since.

I have had a similar issue with a drain in my Duster's electrical system. Simple solution until i rewire the engine compartment.... I went to Advance auto parts and bought a battery cut off switch. it mounts to the negative post and has a brass crossover bar like a handle and I just break the...

For sure!!!

Wow how ironic. I was driving my work van home on 40 on Friday and I smelled something burning, pulled off the exit and opened the hood... my alternator was on FIRE!!!!! Put it out with the extinguisher I carry in my truck. No real damage except the alternator and plastic plugs at the ends of...

That is what I have,- a push in style bulb.

Well I will see if it is the same as the one on my 73' If not no biggie, it was less than 10 bucks. The plug looks to be the same as the one on my car.

I just found a link to what looks like the correct socket on E Bay and it's cheap!!!! I just ordered one, Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=370471433463

I have been trying to locate a new socket for my license plate bulb also. Mine needs to be placed in the socket at a particular difficult angle for the damn bulb to light. Once I get it set in the socket it will work but it is a PITA. I tried electrical contact cleaner on the socket without much...

I ended up having to install a starter button under the dash in my Duster. When I turn my key switch I also get no cranking but since I installed the under the dash starter switch, I only need to turn key switch to the "on" position and push the button and the engine cranks and starts. I think I...

Will do so.

Thanks for the heads up on the rotor issues. I just need to get it running now!!!!!

Well connected it all up and changed the ignition wires and now no spark. It got too dark to try to figure out why I am not getting any spark. I will attempt to get it running tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.
