I got my car fired up once before and went to put the air cleaner on when it was at idle and it shocked the crap out of me. Haha. Could something not be grounded properly?

Yes I do have that engine wires connection. That was one of the first things I tried was bypassing those wires going through there that go to the coil. I think I might just get rid of that thing all together like you said.

Alright thanks everyone for the fast responses. Thanks 67Dart I will use Mymopar. I will just chase everything down. It might be a couple of days before I get back on here. I will post what I find out.

I just check the voltage and it is only 5 volts on run and 8 volts when cranking. What could be causing that?

I touched the distributor connector to ground and the distributor did spark. I cleaned up all contacts in cap and on rotor, and my voltage is good going to coil, but I still have no spark.

It's a 318 car

Ya i just checked, it still turns. I never thought to check that before though.

I have tried that. And I have voltage going to coil in run position and higher voltage when cranking.

My 73 Plymouth duster was running great, shut it off to talk to a guy and would not start back up. No spark. It's been a few months now, I got a new ECM, ballast resistor, coil, and a new harness to tie everything together. I even tried putting on another distributor I had laying around, still...
