Welp, it turns out that I am the problem with this car.... had the coil wire on the 5 ohm side of the ballast, instead of the .5....D'oh!

Car starts and runs fine now... just gotta get all that watery gas outta there ... should get rid of the lack of performance under full throttle it's developed since sitting...

I appreciate the input from everybody!

Thanks!

There's one good reason to run the 4-pin module. :D

You did infact say that! I didn't think anything of it because the coil on the Duster was running 6v, and the ballast I put on the Dart is out of the Duster, so I figured it was ok... guess I was wrong..


Oh well, it runs/drives fine now, Steph is happy and that's the important part.

We may be at Woodburn on friday, her and I are getting anxious for some track time....
