Google Dodge ballast resistor - I think yours may have one, if it goes out it can cause problems like you have.

I agree with OK. The ballast resistor is frequent cause of a no-spark condition. Yours might look slightly different from the one he linked (wrong vehicle in link).

Check the ballast resistor if you have one. Summitt Racing has resistors listed for the 225 up to 1981, the 318 up to 1983.

Good luck,
