I have a 68 barracuda with a 1972 440 in it. It has an electronic distributor with the 5 pin Mopar box. It also has an electronic voltage regulator. The car will start fine but I have to pull the electronic voltage regulator plug to turn it off.

??? That's not right. Wire it like this diag.
 
Logan says he has a 5 pin box, if that is the case he needs the 5 pin 2 balast resistor diagram. Google it and look at images youll find it.

In the mean time, with the key in the OFF position. Do you have voltage at any of the ballast resistor connectors?
 
No there isn’t any voltage at the ballast resistor when the key is off. The wiring for the ballast resistor and ECU is correct. The part the isn’t right is the electronic voltage regulator and the alternator
 
You either have some wiring crossed, a bad switch, or something non OEM added which is backfeeding into the ignition circuit. Is there ANYTHING electrical that is non-OEM?
