Ignition wiring dart swinger

[kickywow]

This is getting old, when i first started working on this car (71 swinger) it would not start by key, i replaced the starter relay, and it suprised me by starting, and now its stopped starting by key, so the other day i had it running and it wont turn off by key now, car is not electrical ignition? help me?

I'd probably check all the ignition wiring first, might have a loose ground or something. Maybe you just jiggled it into working momentarily by installing the new relay.

thats probably the least amount of my problems now, i went out to the car today, and found my coil exploded, and wires from coil to distributor fried, probably the use of speaker wire from the battery to the coil, which was also fried, too bad it was a brand new coil too
