Cranks but only fires in run

[Terry Hauck]

69 Roadrunner with orange box ignition. Turn the key, and it cranks but won't fire till I let the key spring back to the run position. The ballast checks good at 1.5 ohms. After it starts, it runs great.

There are two run positions on the switch, the one while using the starter isn't working. Chase that circuit.

Mine was dong the same thing. Have been going from one thing then another on my car. All electrical. It all just started. I fix one thing then something else. I feel your pain. We just have to bare with it and move on. No cleaning all connection and using contact cleaner as well as dielectric grease. Wish you luck. Russ.
