Hello all, I have a 1969 Camaro SS 396, when i go to start the car it will start and stay started long as i keep the key turned to start, soon as i release it to run position it will stall. I have a MSD Distributer so the coil and everything is in the distributer. I was thinking resistor but not sure if it has one with the MSD dist? Any help woud be great Thanks Sean

 

Sounds like you have a wire hooked up wrong.

 

I think its my starter switch, anyone know how to replace a starter switch? Im going to search the site now. Sean

 

Replace and checked starter switch and still have the same problem

 

Go back to OE configuration and enjoy the continuous running.
May need a cleaning of ign switch contacts mounted on top of steering column above pedals. Use contact cleaner and rotate key cylinder while spraying/cleaning.
Remove positve battery cable first

 

The original coil had 2 power wires. The start wire, which is working, and the second one was a key on resistance wire. Make sure that second wire has voltage when the key is in the run position. You may need to run a new wire if that one is dead, or if it is still a resistor wire. Updated electronic ignitions want a full 12 volt supply, not resistance voltage.
