To be more precise:
When I turn the key over and switch on the starter the car starts right up but will only remain running as long as the key is kept turned/ignition switch on.
I have one suspect but I'm not going to any conclusions just yet. The kid I bought this car from wired in an push button start under the dash which in it's current state isn't actually needed to start the car. The ignition can be done by either the key or the push button. The kid had a lot of drive but not a lot know-how and he probably wired it so that the coil only gets power when the the start also has power.
I'd like the rest of you all's input. What else could cause this scenario?
Car/engine: 74 Duster, 225 \6
whats on it: Original starter, original vacuum advance dist. with new cap and plug wires, new plugs, reasonably fresh carburetor
