1973 Chally 340
Help,
I found the problem but dont know what to do. My 73 would not idle when in gear so I checked timing, etc the logical stuff. I purchased a new coil and it helped but the coil was still getting very hot and still no luck with idling when in gear.
So I seemed to recall in my early years/days of mopar tricks of jumping from the positive battery cable to the coil to bypass the igniton switch (Not sure if thats what I am bypassing) but what the heck, I ran a wire from the coil to the battery post and all my idling issues went away and the car runs great
I clearly am bypassing something would it be the ballast resistor or the Ignition Control Unit or do I need to get a high performance coil or is it something else.
Where can I buy any of the parts that you might suggest?
All help is appreciated and please remember I have forgotten more than I remember.
As always, I appreciate all suggestions
Brad
