Hello,
Synopsis:
For the past two months I have been having an issue with idle/slow moving stalls and 'stutters' from the stop or slow movement.
It only occured when HOT.
I then replaced the distributor and the problem continued.
Now, last week I bypassed the balast resistor and aftermarket TAC and the car runs flawlessy when HOT (no stalls or stuttering whatsoever). The only issue is the coil and Mopar's Orange Ignition system are extremely hot to the touch even after several hours.
The engine is a recently rebuilt 340 with mostly new components [spark plugs and wires, carb (deemed ok by a mopar carb guru), distributor]
It apparently seems to be electrical so...
Are there any other ramifications I should be aware of by bypassing the balast resistor?
Is there a coil with a built-in balast resistor?
Any insight on the cuase of the problem?
Thank You for your time it is much appreciated.
