Sweet I'm glad to see you figured it out. I was sure this was your problem.:D

We know how the Camaro vs Mustang thing pans out, but we ain't played Camaro's and Torino's yet have we? :D

I hope the RESISTOR wire doesn't go to ANY resistor unless you're so old fashioned that you still have a points distributor...

I'm beginning to wonder is you have power (Ignition) after you release the key... so you have power while you're in crank/start mode - and you're dropping power in the "run" position? That would drop power to the coil... and kill any hopes of firing off.


Just thinking out loud here.

No ballast resistor.

The key circuit is a very good thought.......I'll research that tomorrow.

In reflecting on my trouble shooting I've focused more on problems and solutions than symptoms and probable causes at times.....if that makes sense.

Thanks :thumbsup:

I'm wondering which engine harness was installed in the car and what alterations could have been made. I need to confirm the brand, part number, and optional harnesses and blueprint the current configuration.

:goofy:

Sorry, I thought I had read that you had spark earlier.

Not a problem........I did, but it was yellow which had my attention. After replacing the resistor wire and attempting to fire without starting fluid and getting similar results...........Greg's comment about the ignition switch makes sense with the symptoms. And there's no real rush as I'm on an extended vacation now. :unibrow:

Maybe run 12v from the battery straight to the coil and see if she fires. you'll have to remove the 12v wire from the battery for it to shut off

Looks like it's time to give the wife an active role in the project. :unibrow:

Haven't had a chance to work on it today, busy building the relationship with the Dane in anticipation of adoption.

I want to thoroughly understand what's going where with that engine harness, there was a yellow wire that was altered by the body shop :_paranoid

That makes sense to find the issue. Nice thing you're doing for that Dane.. Does REV aprove??
