HI I JUST CHANDED ENGINES IN MY 1975 TORINO THE ENGINES ARE BOTH 400'S BUT THE NEW ENGINE CAME FROM A 1973 MONTEGO AND IT WAS PLACED IN TO A 74 TORINO THE ENGINE WIREING HARNESSES WERE DIFFERENT SO I CHANGED THEM OVER THE DISTRUBITER WAS ALSO DIFFERENT SO I CHANGED THAT SO IT WOULDWIRE UP
NOW FOR MY PROBLEM THE ENGINE WILL START UP AND RUN BUT ONLY IF I HOLD THE KEY IN THE START POSITION IF I LET IT GO THE ENGINE LOOSES FIRE AND STALLS
I HAVE CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS AND AS THEY ARE ALL UNIQUE I BELIEVE THEY ARE RIGHT
ANNY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRICIATED THANKS CONARD C1975GTS@AOL.COM

to me,it sounds like either your ignition switch is bad, or maybe even the starting solinoid is bad/wired wrong.

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I LEFT OUT IS THAT THE 74 HAS A RESET BUTTON THAT IS WIRED OFF THE ALTERNATOR SO I USED THE WIREING HARNESS FOR THAT CAN ANY ONE SEND ME INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW THE SOLINOID SHOULD BE WIRED THANKS ONCE AGAIN CONARD
