70 cuda mopar electronic distributer convertion

[badfish70]

hi, my 70 340 sixpack cuda was running awesome,backed it in the garage and next week nothing,cranks but no start, checked, no fire? anybody with exsperiance on a whim of what the hell happened. its got the orange box ecu, with the mopar convertion with the magnetic pickup in the distributer and the ballast on the firewall

Either the Orange box quit or the ballast resistor gave up. If it doesn't try to start but then quits when you put the key to run it is most likely the ignition ECU.

ok thanks, ya it cranks with no fire,dead dead,doesnt evan want to try to start, car ran like a champ before I shut it down

    My car just did the same thing. Would crank but had no spark at the coil.  Got another coil, orange box ,ballast resistor, from a friend---still nothing.  Turns out the electronic pick up in the dist. went bad. Replaced it and the reluctor wheel for about $30.00.

Check for broken wires along the coil, distributor etc...

thankyou for replys

[badfish70]

got some parts comeing,il let yall know

[badfish70]

oh yet another question if you don't mind, with the mopar electronic convertion like I got, will it kill any parts if you leave the key on, engine off?

should not make a difference , if it will work for hours at a time running there is no reason to fail not running
