https://youtu.be/tVja7UctgIw the link you requested above I have a 2 prong ballast resistor after checking again I'm getting 13.3v on the right prong and the left prong is bouncing around like the coil was showing. I need to go through and make sure I have everything wired up correctly. It looks li...

Parasitic draw is gone must have been one of the many wires I replaced in the ignition system. The coil is still super hot. I checked the voltage at the coil when the engine is running and it's all over the place between 2v and 13v randomly changing. I'm thinking this is the voltage regulator. Thank...

The parasitic has been a problem for years. But the truck was sitting for a long time so I never addressed it until now. The hot coil issue is new. I searched the forums and found a solid video on complete diagnosis on Mopar electronic ignition I will go through that this weekend and see if I find a...

I have the Mopar electronic ignition. The coil has no voltage with the key off. I checked the continuity for ground on the ignition module. I have a ground wire going from the engine to the voltage regulator box and then a ground wire going from voltage regulator to the ignition module. When I touch...

So truck wasn't starting. Threw in a spare coil and it fired up. What made me think of it was that I'm probing around with the key in the on position looking for 12v sources and I touched the coil and it was piping hot...after driving around for a while with the spare coil it was also really hot. I ...

One of my headlights isn't working (probably just the bulb) I could look into that. No stereo. No AC or heater. I did install the 4 wire trailer harness 15 plus years ago I could look into that as well. Now it wont start just cranks over. Have fuel and air. battery shows 12.4 but at the ballast I sh...

Replaced the alt under warranty for free. Current draw is still here. I'm about to just start going through and replacing every wire under the hood at this point.

I am seeing a current draw of 10-15amps between the battery negative cable and negative terminal on the battery. I pulled every fuse under the dash with no change. Any ideas on where to start under the hood? I feel like it would be starter related being such high current draw. The big post I see 12v...

Taking the dodge out after putting a new carb on.

Good times!

Replaced the carb with a summit 750. The truck is eating it up loves it. Problems all gone

I replaced both needles, primary and secondary. The bowl vents are not pushing gas through them. When the truck was running I pulled both sight plugs out and gas is not pouring out of there either. The engine is not starting now but is turning over. I pulled #6 plug again and turned it over and fuel...

Hey Sweptline forum it's been a minute. I revived the truck after sitting 10 years, then life happens and it sat for another year...or two pulled the carb again, cleaned everything out, siphoned old gas out of the tank that was left in it (still some in the lines), new gas with stabilizer, new plugs...

For sure, it was definitely something clogged in the idle circuit. Glad I soaked all the parts in cleaner and took the time to do the rebuild. On a side note, does anyone know where I could find a fan shroud? I remember years back I lost it somehow and in the Arizona summer it overheats. Think that ...

Update on the truck, Finally got the rebuild kit and pulled the carb apart. It was pretty nasty inside cleaned all the parts replaced all the gaskets. Put the carb back on and she's good as new! Thank you guys for all your input, I will keep you all posted with more progress on the truck. https://yo...

I pulled the carb off and removed the fuel bowl parts. Didn't look too bad sprayed carb cleaner through everything passage ways were good. Put the carb back on same exact result. Side note the ballast resistor is almost too hot to touch really warm? I'm assuming that's not normal?

I don't have a spare carb unfortunately.

I will look into that thanks, will post an update.

Here is the start of my revival on the Dodge, The truck has been sitting since 2012, I did a terrible job of starting it up regularly. A year ago I managed to get it moved to my house from where it was stored and started tinkering with it. I did not remove all of the gas, had synthetic oil in it whe...

Thank you that worked!

Will definitely keep you guys posted.

thanks

Hey guys, its been a long time since i've been on here, just wanted to mention the search function is not working at the moment? I get the same results when doing a search from the main screen or in a specific thread. when entering a search the page reloads showing a bunch of lines of code. On anoth...

There is a nut and a bolt on the drivers side of the trans above the shifter, you need to loosen the nut and adjust the bolt to a certain torque spec, I'm not quite sure what it was ill have to look in my book when I get home or someone else can chime in?
