broke down 49

[tankwilson]

Driving home last night in the rain. 49 Dies on the highway and won't start.

Rewired 12v

langdon HEI

mopar alternator

Haven't had a chance to look at it but it seems like an electrical prob.

No fuses blown.

What you guys think???

It could be a number of things. Where you say it was raining when you had the breakdown, something could have gotten wet. If it starts up ok after it dries out then that is most probably the case. If not, do the old check for fuel and spark. Good luck to you.

Did you have the hood on or off.........

Being that it was raining, I would check the dist. cap for moisture inside and also in the post for the coil wire for moisture in there as well.

Some WD40 will take car of it if there is moisture.

I tried starting it last night... cranks like hell but no start. I am guessing it is something electrical. Acts like no spark. Has Langdons HEI, has ran great all summer. No blown fuses. All new wires in car. I will take a look at it tonight and see.

Where would i start to trouble shoot coil or igntion???

Thanks

acts like no spark..it only take a second to pull a wire and confirm...check for fuel from there..let us know..then we can start the real suggestion for you problem

my money is on that distributor deal.

[Plymouthy Adams]

I be thinking the same thing Greg but will give it the benefit of the doubt awaiting his reply

and the verdict is in. It was the ignition module in the dist cap. I have had this less than a year and it took a dump. Langdon warranty anything like this. Really was easy to fix once i figured out what it was.

Up and running now.

Thanks
