Need one for the 68 Dart 340ci, anyone stock these in uk.? Car died on sat. thought it was the ballast resistor but replaced it and made no difference. Cost a fortune to get it transported down to Omagh (might join the AA again). On the plus side, it was next to Holywood train station and as i'm now 60 i got free train back to belfast. Every cloud...eh!

I use one of these
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Pin-Perfor ... SwnsZZgWhe
+ from coil to B
- from coil to the other one at that end
wires from distributor to the other end. if it won't start swap em over.
mount it on a bit of angle iron/ ally as a heat sink
bypass ballast
use DLB198 coil off a 6 or v12 jag
40 quid investment

thanks guys, was the ECM, i've changed the coil too. Just wanted to check the correct voltage regulator to order. Mine has the circuit board. On another note, has anyone uded Dynamat or silimar? i find with the new stainless exhaust the noise and heat inside the cabin are uncomfortable.

If its electronic then it should be fine. In my case the old reg had like windings inside it, the new one was electronic. Orange boxes like electronic regs - so if thats what yours had I'd say you're good.
