    Odd electrical gremlin. no start, dim dome light (some times) buzzer comes on and off

    '72 Dart Custom Sedan. Alright, this one is baffling me and I'm not sure where to start looking. Last Monday, I parked my car after coming home from school. I've had no issues that lead up to this. Tuesday morning, I go out to my car and it wouldn't start. The dome light was on, and...

    It will start but won't run. [Solved. Wasn't ignition. :( ]

    '72 Dart 318, 904, stock ignition Had my car die on the way to work yesterday. I thought I'd run out of gas, so I pushed to a gas station and filled up but now it seems that it's an ignition issue. The car will fire while cranking, but quits when the key is in "run". I checked for power...

    Anyone know what this wire is that I smoked?

    Finally got the new shifter in and the freshly rebuilt trans filled with fluid. Went to start and after cranking a couple times, I saw a bunch of smoke! Pulled the key and ran around to see what happened. One wire that comes from the resistor had totally roasted. Here's a picture of...

    Initial timing set @ 30*. Engine seems happy?

    Freshly rebuilt 318, rv cam (Don't know specs of cam) When I first got my new engine running a week or so ago, we just timed it by feel. After a little messing, the idle seems smooth around 570-590 rmp. This is with the timing at ~30*. It will still idle if I back it off, but it's more...

    Quick alternator wire question.

    My Alternator has the one screw terminal and two spade connectors. Does the green wire go to the top connector, or the one pointing to the passenger side? I think I remember it going to the top connector, but now I'm not so sure and my Haynes manual is not helping me.

    Should there be a grounding strap from the engine to the body?

    '72 Dart w/318 Got the new motor in yesterday and spent all of today painting and prepping parts to go back on. While making an itinerary for tomorrow, I remembered that the old engine didn't have a grounding strap. I know the battery grounds straight to the motor, but other cars I've worked...

    Electrical gremlin. Dart won't start. Desperately seeking insight!

    EDIT: this is a '72 dart 4-door Okay, so this gremlin has popped up in the past, but never this persistently. When it first happened, the can just wouldn't crank. So I popped the hood, jiggled some wires, and that was that. Started right up. Then the car shut off a few times while driving...
