Thank you so much. I'll check all of this. I'll replace any of the bad components and if both the coil and Ballast resistor are fine then I'll change out the ECU. Again thank you. this is just the info i needed.

I took it off today and looked at it. seemed fine.

This sounds about right. as you said it only pegged when driving. at idle it was at moderate charge.

I should point out too that the motor turns over and is getting fuel. Also the ballast resistor is new so it's not that either. I did convert the car over to electronic ignition from points when i swapped engines. (old slant 6 was blown, so I put a super slant 6 in). I checked the wiring several...

I'll take a look at this. Thank you.

Not helping, dude.

Yeah, as I mentioned I already changed the VR. Nothing smoked, burned, or ever showed any sign of damage. Plus all of my gauges aren't really reliable, which is why I ignored them.

I need a set of 15" 5X4 rims for my 68 dart, as I want to upgrade from the 13" I have now. Cant afford much and shipping might be a lot, so if there's someone within the Southeastern Massachusetts area that has a set please let me know. They don't have to be perfect, just in usable condition.

While driving my 68 dart one day it suddenly died. There is no spark whatsoever. for the month previous the Amperage Meter had been pegged, so I fear I burned something out. I Found the voltage regulator had welded itself together so I changed that but still nothing. The ignition control module...

It's been a while, but I thought I might just post an update. The Dart, which I have now dubbed "Dinky" Is mostly OK. In mid 2019 my cousin (different cousin) helped me time it. it was about 10-20 degrees off. Turns out I miraculously re-installed the distributor correctly. She was back on the...

Just an update, but the dart is dead. I pulled the distributor to replace the vacuum advance but found out autozone sold me the wrong part (again). Now she's so far out of time she can't start. Also the manifold nearly fell off. I don't think I can do cross-country trips in this car like I...

Oh yeah, and the final tally came in at $4000

The goal was to only spend $2700 in restoring it, since that was it's original cost and, coincidentally, it's current book value. It had been parked for 30 years and once fell of a trailer during transit, and had decades of mouse feces in it. I first rebuilt the entire brake system (all drums)...

I wanted to share with everyone my restoration of my 68 dart 270 sedan Most of the work was done through October and November of 2017. I have mostly video of the car through the restoration, which I'll upload once I get around to editing it. For now here's a photo or two of the car as it is...

I just finished putting my 68 dart back together, and have put about 50 miles on it. yesterday I took it out on the highway for the first time. It didn't like it. I was on the highway for about 5 minutes. 2 minutes later I was home. I checked under the hood since I could smell something...

Well, it seems my problem has been solved. I now know I can get 15s and full-size hubcaps. Here are the rims i'm going to get

I recently finished "restoring" my 68 Dart 270 sedan, but surprise surprise, the 35 year old white walls were no good. Then to my dismay I discovered you can't easily find the correct size 13" tires for my stock rims. The ones I ended up with are much smaller than the old ones, and the car rides...

So I have a problem. I have a 1968 Dodge Dart 270 Sedan with an automatic and a slant 6 and I have no reverse lights. I found the reverse light switch mounted on the base of the steering column near the firewall and tested it. The switch works and the bulbs work. HOWEVER there is nothing there...
