PS The car was an Az. car from new and only came here in '12, so it's been in a dry climate for most of it's life. Being a race car from car day one, it's also heater and radio delete, so there is lots of room to mess about under the dash!.

Hi Dave, Sounds like you went through the wringer with yours!!! An Aussie Chrysler, I presume?. Well, I think we've sussed it. Run it up from cold and warmed it and it now starts warm!. I've got an msd blaster coil with the stock ballast resistor. Put an ohmmeter across the stocker and got 0.2. On t...

Thanks ever so much for that, Dave. Have looked on all the mopar sites I can find. While lots have had this trouble, nobody has put their finger on it through the years. It's quite common as far as I can make out, though. Will tear into it again this afternoon and let you know, if we finally fix it!.

Thanks Guys, Yes, it is a 12v system!. Definitely isn't vapour locking and is an electrical fault. Does run, if I hotwire it from the starter to + on the coil. Ballast resistor checks out ok with meter (and has 6v at coil after, which is ok) when it's cold but not when at op. temp. Got me stumped, s...

Hi Jake,
Lovely car, which I've seen at the Pod a time or two.
Glendale must be popular car place, as that's where mine came from!
Look forward to seeing you up there this year.
Cheers, John

Good on ya!

Good on ya, the car looks wonderful, I even like the wheels! Know what you mean, re. the cam being a bit much. If it was done in the States, they do like big cams... Mine's got stock (11") drums without power and drives no prob at all. Cheers, John

Pod next year.

Will keep an eye out for you and the car. I only live in Rushden, so El Poddo is very handy for me and us local Moparists.

RWYBs/practice days

Hey Aitch, This is where it's at. Can't beat a bit of fire up road socialising! We're the backbone of the sport/lowest of the low, depending on your take, but we're out there havin' a ball and hopefully, not breakin' too much. I keep trying to post some photos of my car, but every time I do, it blow...

Hi Steve,

Turned out very well. Great weather and an excellent turnout of cars + mine behaved itself!.

Wish the aaci would keep their website updated though.

Cheers, John
