Hi Charles,Others are more up on electric gremlins than I, but it I would check the notorious ballast resistor which as I understand it, is by-passed in the start position, reduces voltage to the coil in the run position thus keeping it cooler. and when it fails you get many of the symptoms you describe.
Good Luck, Jim L. in OR----- Original Message ----- From: "charles major" <charlesdmajor@xxxxxxxxx>

I put on the after market under the cap conversion on my 63 Imp and seem to have it messed up. The car had not ran in a while so maybe some else is going on? 1. The regulator was smoking- so I took the wire off 2. The car would stop running the key was not turned to the START position, ran a jumper to the POS post and it kept running. (could be a dead coil?) 3. Both the battery and the coil were getting HOT Charles Major 270.791.4139 Moble 208.728.4443 FAX __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
