Maybe some of the Dodge owners know about this: In some of the older trucks there was a resistor ballast on the firewall. I can't remember the number I've seen fail but it is a couple of handfuls. I had an old Coronet that had the failing ballast, too. IIRC, the workaround was to connect two of the posts together to energize the ignition circuit. This part may have been phased out by 1977.
How about it OP? Did you pull the trigger on the Power Wagon?
I have been having a hard time getting ahold of the current owner. His sister said he was out of town this weekend, will try him again tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.
