Sign In Still show a ballast resistor despite 1973 being first year for electronic ignition for Mopars. Should look like this......... Mounted on firewall and wiring to it may be damaged? Keep holding starter engaged and you'll either bust the teeth on flywheel or need another starter. This smacks of no power to distributor when you let go of the key. That resistor gave ignition full voltage just during cranking then lowered voltage for running.

Sign In I know you said you changed the resister but I have seen dozens of those old Chryslers act that way with a bad resister. You really need to do some testing to determine if the ignition switch and wiring is doing what it's supposed to.
