All better!! it was my engine wiring harness. I must have lost voltage somewhere, slapped in a repo harness and its all good! Thanks for everyones help!

thanks guys. i'll update later this week. if its wiring, it should turn up when i put my new harness on there. otherwise we will see........

Ok, thought id humor myself with another response. I know i wont diagnose it, i just needed somewhere to start. So far doesnt seem that it was the pick-up coil, although now i have a random backfire (pop) when i let off..........

So, i pulled the distirbutor last night (a new MP distributor a year ago) and noticed that the reluctor was a little ugly compared to what i beleive it should be; not to mention the air gap looks to be slightly larger than the recomended .008" gap. this could explain why its always been hard to...

Alrighty, I'll also check voltage.... Thanks!

I'll need to take a look to post correctly, But, I went with the wiring diagram for a 4 post resistor. I did it correctly according to the diagram but maybe something is up.

Is there a way to change out the pickup coil? or would i need a new distibutor? I will take a look at how close the fuel line is, and i will also try the gas cap again (it didnt help in the driveway, but maybe i needed to drive it) could i have toasted the pickup coil when i soldered with...

So, I took the car out today. Man, it was awesome on the highway. Cruised @ 80 mph for a while. But i still got off and almost stalled at red lights. Then, i thought, maybe after it sitting for so long since November with only a few trips here and there (Legendary had my seat covers for a...

I'll update you guys later today. I had the carb rebuilt, and come to think of it, Its been hard to start ever since I dropped the stroker in. Is there a recommended float level to go by with certain jets? I do have the Owners book so i can check there too. Thanks guys! And, i promise I will...

well, its not fresh. I mean it sat over winter, but ive filled up since then. I would think it would run this consistantly bad if it were fuel.... new filter too. I did just change out the ECU with a new cheapy one. It didnt seem to have an affect. The old one was melted a little though, I could...

I'll try again, I did that yesterday, we'll see. I really appreciate all of the feedback guys!!

Thanks, Ive done that in the past, i may try it again later.... I have a wedding to go to @ 2pm and i really wanted to take the car out! :munky2:

Not a bad idea, I was just thinking of trying that actually..... Thats the only thing I havent tried, and i did some soldering on the connections, so its possible maybe something heated up too much?....

Stock EFI box, and the black mopar coil........ Its just so frustrating that i cant figure it out...

So, once again, Im still on this great 6 month troubleshooting trail.... which has lead to me taking the car out maybe twice on a real trip this year. My latest issue is still pretty much the same, Ive got 34* total, 18* initial, 15psi vac. and i unhooked the vacuum advance this time to...

Im curious too!! I just took it out for a spin. I had 34 total, but also reading around 36 initial. then i hooked up the advance and had 20 degrees. It wouldnt run when i lowered it anymore. I think i need to get a vacuum gauge.

Cool. im wondering though, if i set initial and then change it at full revs, how can i keep initial the same? wont turning the distributor twice change the previous setting?

Thanks guys. I was hearing between 32-36 Total degrees... Im running a 750 Edelbrock. cast iron heads. I also read that you could change intitial timing while keeping the same total, since that is due to cintrifugal.......

I have a stroked 360 408-412-416...... anyway, After alot of reading, I am seeing the definition of different timing refferances. Initial: being set at idle speed with plugged vacuum, Total: being set at 2500+ rpm's, and cintrifugal being the difference between the 2. BUT, my question is, how...

Thanks, thats the plan then..

Thanks again guys, Is there some info on which main jets math to secondary jet sizes? Kind of the way you need to match the metering rods? And if a olug is too hot, what should i do? is that a timing issue? Im running 34 degrees @ 2500rpms..... maybe i need to adjust the vacuum advance...

Ok, well I took her out for a spin yesterday and she ran pretty well. Now i need to mess with the Jet sizes cus it has a little sputter in a low cruise until you step on it. could be a little too much advance as well.... But, at least its looking up!!

Thanks everyone! I'l be sure to report back..

Thanks everyone, yep I tend to hang on Cuda-Challenger, came here for the 69 Dart im building.... still have to load pics. I'll take more pictures, but i have that frosty white color throughout the insulator. No "balls" of anything building up on the plugs.... Ive gotten a few lean answers so i...

any tips? heres mine. I was just curious how she's performing... I opted to change to Champion from these Autolites.... Im hearing NGK is pretty good too, Theyre going in my 408 Stroker.. stock heads :read2:
