Check the firewall for a ballast resister. It's a little porcelain thing with either one blade connected wire or two on each side. Held to the firewall with one bolt in the center. Change that, and keep a spare on hand.

I LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THE GAS FILTER IS LACATED

If you have a gas engine in your Dodge, then the fuel filter is located inside the fuel tank and is a part of the fuel pump module. In theory it is a lifetime filter but should it need replacement the fuel tank would need to be lowered/removed and the pump module replaced. I don't believe you can buy the filter seperately but think it is a part of the fuel pump module. Hope this helps!

The fuel heater is connected with the fuel pump, if it does not work, the fuel pump won't pump. Manifold heater has separate relays, fuse, and selenoids which are under the driver battery. If you have been working on it a lot make sure the battery is charged up.

You will only hear it for a couple of seconds when you first turn the key to "on". If your truck is dieing, you probably will want to change the fuel filter, and check for vacuum leaks.

I have a 1975 dodge w200 with a 360 in it i changed the plugs and wires and the timing is perfect when u put gas in the carb it runs and then dies what did i do wrong i changed the wires one by one

I would suggest checking the needle in seet in the carb - it may be missing, or not in place, or wore out. Also make sure that the air/fuel misture is set correctly. You could also need to replace the fuel pump (or buy an electric fuel pump and install it in the engine compartment). Last, check the gasket between the intake manifold and the carborator for any fuel leaks, as this will cause it to start, then die.
