But...it started to rain and we couldn’t get the ignition on the MoPar engine to engage.

Had a Charger and a Dodge van, same thing. The ballast resistor on the firewall would crap out from time to time. Had to carry a spare in the glovebox. Common problem with old Chryslers.

*********************************
The “new” resistors you buy are made in China and have modern components hidden inside that ugly ceramic block... they work in the rain... but what real Mopar men did was they simply put a stripe of duct tape over the top of the resistor block to keep rain from running down the firewall and inside the (hollow) back of the block ,,, which of course shorted it out..
