SB Mopar Ignition Starting Help Needed - Sloow Cranking

Posted by Will (in IL) on Sunday, April 15, 2007 at 20:12:53 :

Before I installed the Body and Wiring I had the engine temporarily wired (jury rigged) and had the truck running. But now I' cant seem to get it started and running. I've had it hit and miss, but flood out. I've came to the conclusion that it was a voltage problem, and bought a better battery charger.

Still trying to get the truck started, and I've come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with the Wiring/Electronic Ignition. I've placed a switch between the "Holly Pro-Jection 2D Main Power (Red)" and the "Ignition Switch", so that I can crank the engine with out flooding it. I've also temporarily disconnected the wire between the "Start Switch" and the "Coil +" as it's an optional hotter spark option by Mopar. If I try starting the truck with the "Ignition Switch" wire connected to the Ballast Resistor, the engine turns over very slow. If I disconnect it, the engine cranks over fast, fast enough to start if I had spark and fuel.
