1979 Dodge Lil Red Express all original: V8 360(5.9L)
Truck be moved down to Florida from New York in late October I own yet to have the Carb set.
Yesterday, I drove it to work at 8am and final home at 5pm with no problems, truck actually run nice. Did rain pretty good that hours of daylight though, first time really. At 6pm, I went to get into my truck to drive a few miles down the road and the item would not turn over. It was as if the engine didn't want to fire over. Everything sounded normal, except the engine would not start, seem to not get enough spark. Got it running, a great deal of moisture was coming out of the exhaust. As I drove it, I have it some gas, near was a hesitation, consequently three loud backfires with a white flash out the exhaust. Truck after shut off and could not get it to start. Tried for in the order of an hour and half, as I was getting it towed, it started up right away again. Running a bit rough. Is it a loose flex on the ignition, back butterfly in the carb sticks??
Check the inside of your distributor hat for moisture an also check the rotor and the carbon leads on the cap to brand sure they are not worn down.If you do have moisture,wipe it out or spray a little WD-40 within the cap.You can apply a little bead of rtv to the sunhat to seal it.I had a 70 Dodge Challenger that have the exact same problem and it was moisture in the sou`wester.Hope this helped.
The backfire is because your carburetor is any set too rich, or it's dumping fuel unmetered into the intake.
You have two options:
1)Have the carb rebuild, and reset. Will probably cost you $200-$300, and you'll be without the truck for a few days.
2)Slap a high execution carburetor onto it. I'd recommend an Edelbrock 650 performer if it's a 4 barrel carb., or a Holley 500 if it's a 2 drum. These will set you back a little more, but you can do the position yourself in an afternoon...and it probably won't need any conservation for a few years.
If you don't want to spend any money on it, you could try whacking the bowl on the carburetor with a calorific screwdriver in hopes that maybe the impact will unstick anything is hung up. Then hold the gas pedal to the floor and start it.
Also, it might be a good idea to hold a fire extinguisher in the truck...just incase.

check the ballast resister on the firewall(its a small ceramic box)take a piece of covered wire and hurdle the harness, after you disconnect it and see if its start.mopars are known for them to go desperate.
There is also a white ceramic block mounted somewhere on your firewall near a few wires going to it. It is very unassuming in appearance. I can't remember what the hell they call the thing, but it will also cause this trouble. They are cheap and glib to replace. Just take your old one past its sell-by date and go to a good parts store for a foreign one.
Good luck

Answers: put on a unsullied carb and give it a good tune up

Your ignition system is getting wet. Get a can of wd-40. Start beside spraying the distributor cap with it, afterwards try and start the truck. If it starts and runs well, then you have need of a new distributor cap. If not, move about on and spray down all of your ignition wires and try again. Same thing, if it runs in good health after, there's your trouble, change your wires.There is also a white ceramic block mounted somewhere on your firewall near a few wires going to it. It is very unassuming in appearance. I can't remember what the hell they call the thing, but it will also cause this trouble. They are cheap and glib to replace.
