im floundering here
What i have is a 73 dart 318 that has been converted from 4 post ballast to 2 post balast. While cleaning up the harness. I mustve rewired something incorrectly and now i have no power to coil in “run” position. The brown wire which i thought was “run” power only gives voltage in “start” position. So the car will go off for a second but as soon as i release the key. Its doa.. ive confirmed that by running hot lead right from 12v to coil the car will run. Here is what my starting circut looks like. Can someine pleae offer me a beat down.. the brown wire im using on 73 diagram is in postition “Q” on middle bulkead connector.. here is kindergarden sketch of what i have

You need to install the blue wire to the other side of the ballast. neverminded you got it

I did the same thing. I'm used to seeing the flow right to left through the ballast.

But he has it correct
