Issues with 74 Dart

The car finally got so bad that I couldn't get it started at all and it set at my work for 3 days. I finally decided that the problem had to be with the new distributor that I put on in Sept. The pickup coil resistance was only 230 ohms.

I replaced the distributor with a warranty replacement. This pickup coil resistance was 444 ohms. Low and behold the engine was really racing. I had to reset the idle WAY down from where it was running.

So I have fixed the idle problem with a new distributor.

I still can't get it to start correctly.

Thanks for the advice.
