Re: Darned thing won't start...

Sounds like you have no fire to the ballast resistor while  cranking, try 
running a hot wire to the ballast resistor and see if it doesn't  start right 
up,,,,,  I think you need to check to see if your wired for a  four or five 
post module,,,,

I need a bit of help here, guys. 
My '64 Polara  convertible won't start(sometimes). It's a 383 with mopar 
electronic ignition.  It's always been a little balky, but it just refuses to 
go now. Last year it  got a new Evans wiring harness underhood, along with a 
new distributor and  box. 
Sometimes it would start fine, other times I'd have to bypass the  ballast 
resistor. 
Now, with the resistor bypassed and the coil wire pulled  and grounded to a 
header, it gives one spark when you turn the ket and one  more when you 
release the key and that's it. I swapped in another control box  and no 
improvement. Went over all the grounds, changed the coil and wire and  still no 
better. 

Any suggestions?
