Here is some background:
1972 Dodge Dart; 33,000 mile survivor; stock electronic ignition.
I am having an intermittent hot start problem. When the car is cold, it starts and runs perfect. You can drive it for an hour without any problems. When you turn the car off, it will start just fine, but if you wait 1/2 hour or so, the car won't start and doesn't have any spark. I have changed the ballist resistor, ignition module, and the coil. The reason I changed them is because they were original to the car. I pulled the wire off the coil while cranking the motor and saw no spark. When I put my bare hand on the fender, I got shocked...hard. With the key in the run position, I have about 7 volts at the positive side of the coil. Thanks in advance.
