Hi all, I have an 86 w100 318, on the way home from work truck started idling weird. When on the throttle truck was sluggish and felt like it was lurching when under a load. Got home shut it off and she wont start anymore. It tries to fire but sounds like ****. Carb has been rebuilt shoots fuel when you try to crank and when you give her gas. I'm getting fire but where I'm stumped at is the igntion coil has a random extra wire on the positive side that is hot when the key is on. Dunno what it hooks into???? Help any suggestions?

Also found this sitting on the intake in the back any ideas??

 

that is radio noise suppressor. cuts down on static in radio. if that wire on pos side of coil was touching intake/ground it may be your problem. you may also now have to change resistor if equipped. they asked me how old i am and i said" i am so old that when we drove mopar in old days,a spare resistor was standard issue in glove box". also have had problem when aftermarket coil is used with std brain box.

 

also, did it jump time?

 

is that possible just jumping ignition timing without messing with the distributor??? And I guess ill take that wire off when I get a chance thank you for the reply I dont have a radio so off with the wire. That's weird a radio static suppressor on the ignition coil positive side

 

or are you talking about that little cylinder????
