Ballast resistor or circuit is bad if the engine dies when you release the ignition switch from start to run.
When you are starting the car, the ballast resistor is bypassed to give a full 12volts to the ignition circuit. When you drop the key back to start, it goes through the ballast circuit which knocks the voltage down to about 9v to keep from burning up ignition components. Try bypassing the ballast resistor and see if if still does it.
@RacerRickxx Your right on but if i may add something, always bypass with an inline fuse in the circuit to be on the safe side, and a ballast resistor is cheap enuff to really just go buy a new one and skip the bypass altogether, but you are right on with your info, Curt
Please let me know about the lead wire from battery 2 the resistor? I'm trying to get a stock '67 belvdere 440 running; electric issues i have ? [[once a 318]. gregory
@2inchtube Order a manual from year one with the wiring diagrams in it, will explain everything, and the wiring is very simple on that year of dodge, I have learned by trial and error not just being a smartass or know it all!!!
@funnyman1972 geared timing sprockets give you a much more acurate timing. I am not a fan of the wining noise but, completely acceptable for this application.
@frankie15oct Yes, I agree but for the small advantage I will pass on it unless I can have a 40% to 50% increase in power with a blower where it is necessary to run the gear drive. From everything I have learned over the years about timing what ever you lose down low from timing being to slow you get back on the big end. Or viceversa.
can i have your gear 2 gear, l want one of those, when you have one of those sets you apart, like holy crap hes not like everyone else with a double roller, killer man
dude thats why they use roller assemblies, rolelr cam bearings, roller rockers, roller tip lifters, all that cuts down the vibration, and the reson why gear drives are in thier own class good is because there is no way in hell your engine can jump timing creating a bigger problem that wearing out the valve train, blets are good in thier own class, some peoplel ike em better than others, me, i usually went with double roller chains, they kept jumping teeth so gear drives are nice for me
You telling me that gear drives don't jump timing!? HA! I have seen more gear drives bust teeth and throw the valve timing off thus hitting the pistons and ruining the valves, locks, retainers, sometimes snapping springs/dampers and even destroying pistons.
NOT all cars use roller cams, this car probably does not have one as they are expensive to retro fit. Again, timing belts are the safest route, I'd rather have a chain than a gear drive. Do a search, please.
dude go by what you know, im going by what ive learned, ive never seen a gear drive break, ive seen chains snap, slack off and jump timing, and ive seen belts tear, but never a busted gear drive, dont need a search bro, im in real life, and a gear drives the setup im going with in my 440, the only reason why im not for chains or belts is because thier like edelbrock for me, it never works

We had problems with ignition switch so we bypassed it. Engine started but after releasing switch from start to on position engine turned off.

Gear drive is for a blower motor to take the stress off running a week chain. Put the chain back on with out the blower.
funnyman1972 2 years ago
I think you mean "weak". What, exactly, is a weak chain? And you intimate that a cam gear is only meant for blown apps? How so?

Gear drives are horribly bad. The send all of the vibration from the lower rotating assembly DIRECTLY to the valve trane.
This is why belt drives are so efficient. If gear drives are SO good why do the biggest names in race engines only use belt drives.
