Well... over the weekend, I went to pick up the RV so I could do some more remodeling this spring before racing season starts. I also plan on replacing the shocks, and I need to fix the choke spring. It's currently out at a friends, and it gets very soupy at his place in the spring. So I went out early in the morning while everything was still frozen.
I had been starting it about once a month, and letting it run for a bit. When I got there, she fired right up. I let it warm up a bit, then got it out of it's place. It had already sunk into the ground a bit. I got it semi stuck at one point, but was able to get it onto the frozen road. At that point I took one quick walk around to make sure everything was up, and nothing was dangling. I hopped into the driver seat, applied the seat belt, put it into drive... and it stalled.
Hasn't fired since.
I'm stumped for the time being.

Thanks Griff,
That was exactly what I was needing to know. I don't have a problem now but was trying to be more prepared in the future. I will try to locate my resistor and then go find a spare to have on hand in case of a problem on the road. From my reading you all seem to think a spare is a good idea, so I just assumed it is a problem from time to time.
thanks again,
A.

On the vapor lock question,,, was that more of a problem with the 440's or do the 360's have the same tendancy... I haven't run my 360 up any big grades in the summer but plan to this year.
I'm interested in this question myself...I might be getting another '77 in the spring and it's got a 360.
I didn't drive the last one (RIP) enough to find out.

OK, throw back to an old subject.. ballast resistors. I have read how we should always have an extra one for these old dodges, my question is: where is it located, how do I know it has failed, and when I go to my local NAPA store and ask the 25 yr old behind the counter for one... how can I be sure he will give me the right one for my 1974 with a 360. I think this has been discussed in the past but my search didn't bring up all the answers I was looking for. I replaced my plugs, wires, cap and rotor and it runs smooth and starts easy. Just wondering what I might have missed.
thanks,
A.
