How's it goin mopar fans I have a half ton 83 ram that originally had a slant six with a 4 speed stick and I am swapping in a 1977 360 out of a motor home and I have everything hooked up to run but I can't get any spark for some reason. I am not getting any power to the distributor but I'm getting power to the coil but the ground terminal is staying hot, I've tried to run a separate wire from the battery to the coil and the ground still stays hot ???? I'm lost

My alternator from the 83 is the same as the 77 the old six has two plugins for the distributor one 3 prong and one 2 prong and I'm using the one two prong. The six also had a large ignition module on the air filter

Well I never had the lean burn setup hooked into this motor it has the old distributor and I have the original old two barrel on the 360 so ur saying I have to run wires from where the old lean burn module is to get power to the distributor ? I already have ign power to the coil the neg terminal of the coil is just ending up hot

The 360 distributor only has 1 two prong plug in

The distributor out of the slant six works in a 360?

 

[MADMACMAN86]

It does have mechanical advance

I don't have any spark and the negative side of the coil stays hot

I ran a separate power and ground to both the coil and distributor and I still have nothin
