It is a 383 and converted to an electronic ignition. It has always been really reliable but all of the sudden today it would not come to life. Was forced to drive my dumb honda civic instead. I am going to swap out the orange box on the firewall and see if that does anything. Any other ideas would be awesome and appreciated. Hopefully it will be a quick fix.

Not a bad idea to carry a NEW spare one of those puppys. 2005 Dakota 4X4 3.7 2004 Rumble Bee 5.7 1978 Diplomat 318 1969 Satellite 318 "bracket racer" 1966 Barracuda (in progress ) 1964 Dodge 330 (future race project) 1962 Belvedere (HUM????)

The polara came to life.Next time I am at the junk yard I am going to get a few backups.The ballast resistor was fine. Thanks
