    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    Yup, I knew it was gonna be something stupid, most likely my fault, and was correct. Got home from work, popped connector off, tested voltage, nadda at ICM side of wire from - side of coil. Thought maybe the new harness I bought was bad, but thought I better check my 1 connection on that wire...

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    Yea, I have no clue. New ECU, New pickup coil, coil swapped to known working coil, new ballast resistor. NOTHING CHANGED! Full batt volt. on both sides on coil,, test light dims but wont flash while cranking on - side of coil. Key in run, full batt volt everywhere, ballast resistor not dropping...

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    I have full batt voltage on both sides of the coil in run and start positions, it's gotta either be the pickup coil died, or the ECU/ICM did

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    Thank you, I have a new ECU, resistor, and dist. pickup coil on order, I will use your post to troubleshoot once they arrive. I am just trying to get this thing running to move onto next part. I was just asking for help, and your 1st comment rubbed me the wrong way. Do you have a Youtube video...

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    I have swapped out the resistor, got same results, and I have another on order, but it ran with the existing resistor in place, drove into the garage then tore it apart, and yes, it's a newer ECU, only has 4 pins in it

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    Telling me it's so bad I should rip it out and start over isn't saying anything bad to, or about me? Okay boomer. You didn't offer any help to my post, only bashed it. I'm sure all of your cars were show cars all the way thru the building phases, right?

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    Wiper motor is NOT wired to the ballast resistor in pics, I did not realize the motor had a ballast resistor, I thought previous owner had installed after removing the 4 post ballast resistor, the wiper motor is fully wired and working, but not to resistor, as the AAW instructions did not...

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    Yea, I didn't know wiper motor had a resistor, the 4 post ballast is long gone, and I thought previous owner had put this 2 post in since the 4 post ballast is no longer needed. But it has run with this setup.
  9. Rhino_74Dart

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    Original 4 post ballast was long gone, I thought previous owner had put in the 2 post ballast, didn't know it was for wiper motor, as my new wiring has direct connections, and doesn't specify anything about a wiper motor ballast. Car only needs a 2 post ballast now. Also, I have changed to a 1...

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    Thanks for your helpful reply, you should send me your address so I can send a thank you gift. WTF is wrong with you? I know it aint pretty, I'm not done yet, wiring is just roughly laid in position, trying to get it running, why be an asshole?

    No, it's not a factory replacement. No seatbelt interlock

    1974 Dart 318 crank, but no start (Solved)

    ***SOLVED*** Wire from ICM/ECU to Negative side of coil was broken right at crimp, but rubber sleeve held it in place without allowing voltage to pass thru. I know this issue has been beat to death, I've read the posts, watched the videos, and I'm still stumped. 1974 Dart, 318 w/electronic...

    1974 Dart SE 2 door rear window pivot rollers

    Hey y'all, I noticed both rollers are long gone from the pivots on both my rear windows, and I can't for the life of me find replacements. Found some for 72 and older, but not for my year. Any ideas? The windows do roll up and down, but I'm sure there is a reason those rollers were there.

    AAW wiring kit mated to factory A/C 1974 Dart

    I'm just about done with the wiring in my Dart, but the AAW kit isn't designed to mate to factory A/C. I'm using this drawing another member posted, and trying to figure out what best to do. The AAW kit supplies power to blower switch, whereas the factory setup sends power to A/C control panel...

    Installing an American Autowire Classic update wiring harness

    Do you have a schematic or drawing of what you did to connect factory A/C to AAW kit? I'm almost done with AAW install, but still trying to figure out A/C connections. I have a drawing from another post, and I'm wondering if I take power from AAW kit at the blower switch, and instead route to...

    1974 Dart Special Edition rewiring question

    This is all I know, was installed before I got car. 1 other question, did you run the power wire from alternator back to firewall, across, then up to megafuse, or did you run forward, along radiator support, and back to mega?

    1974 Dart Special Edition rewiring question

    Awesome, thanks. And since someone put an electronic ignition in distributor, do I still need the orange ECU box, or can it be eliminated?

    1974 Dart Special Edition rewiring question

    Where did you mount the megafuses in your 74 Duster? I am neck deep in an AAW rewire of my 74 Dart Special Edition, and am about ready to install the megas. I haven't decided between near battery, or near alternator on opposite side of engine bay. I also appreciate the alternator info you gave...

    1974 Dart Special Edition rewiring question

    I don't believe you'll need that relay once you connect the yellow/yellow striped wires together, it will bypass the interlock allowing car to start, your seatbelt just won't disable the starting of the car after bypassing it.

    1974 Dart Special Edition rewiring question

    Curious where you ran the ignition and turn signal harnesses, under/through the column bracket, or straight up under dash? Was your car factory A/C? If so, how did you wire it up, my AAW harness is not setup for factory A/C cars, and the blower resistor has more connections than the AAW harness...

    1974 Dart Special Edition rewiring question

    Hey guys, wiring was shot, and my idiot self ripped the rest out before I got my new kit, AND I didn't take photos like a total noob. I am fully rewiring my 74 Dart, and have new fuse block bolted in place, and it says to follow original harness routing, but I don't know where the harness goes...

    1974 Dart vinyl top molding clip kit?

    Hi all, I'm about to get my vinyl top on, and have all molding, but all clips are broken/missing. I found a kit for a 74 Duster, but it only has 2 clips with nuts, my car requires 5 I believe.

    74 Dart A/C restore

    I have interior gutted, and am about to start insulation, rewiring, and A/C & heater core replacement, but having trouble locating parts. I have looked for a retrofit kit like my Classic Auto Air kit I put in my 1970 Mustang last year, but no one makes a kit for the 74's, so I guess I'm going to...
